> I've had good success by dissolving the tablespoons in a cup of sugar syrup, and then pouring it over the cluster.
Treating in syrup increases the OTC found in honey compared to dry feeding. That is why in Australia we shifted to dry feeding. See https://www.agrifutures.com.au/wp-content/uploads/publications/04-091.pdf
There are some beekeepers who successfully keep bees without any treatment with OTC. Work on the principle that EFB is a stress disease, so remove the stress and the bees get over the EFB.
