Ted -Are you using Benzaldehyde, or Butyric anhydride (Bee-Go / Honey
Robber)? I have had mixed results, (my experience is mostly with the
former), from cleared supers - to bees hardly moving down at all - to
stupefied bees running all over in chaos. Have you had good results
consistently, without tainting the aroma of the honey, & what is the most
effective procedure? I was concerned at the confusion the fumes caused
sometimes. Any info appreciated -- JWG
