Tim,

You're probably going to want 5 to 6 tablespoons on your fume board with Bee Go.  Some depends on the temperature and the sun.  If it is really hot and the sun is shining, the Bee Go will nearly drive the bees off the brood.  If it is really cold it might not even seem like it is working.  Wait until a warm sunny day, that way most bees will be out foraging, making the task a whole lot easier.  Always be careful not to let the Bee Go drip off the fume board.  Let it soak into the board a bit before putting it on the top of the hive.  I take it this is the reason they say to use "sparingly."  Another option you might want to try next time is Fisher's Bee Quick.  It is the same price and although it isn't quite as fast acting as Bee Go, it is composed of all natural ingredients.  It has a very pleasant smell as well, like almond extract.
