The mixture I use is the one in Brushey mointain catalog. It is as
follows:
1 6.4 oz pk Terrimycin
2 1/2 lbs Crisco (any all vegitable shortning will do)
5 lbs granulated sugar
Mix dry ingrediants thoroughly, then mix with Crisco. Devide into 15
equal portions and flatten into patties (About 1/4" thick. donot use
during honey flow.
Patties without Terramycin can be made up for use during honey flow to
combat T mites.
