The  general strategy for fumigillin is to have bees store it as "honey" 
above the  contracting brood nest in fall, so that they will later eat their way 
up into  it (fumigillin is very stable in solution), and thus dose themselves 
through  the winter.



And if any is left over in spring and it is in the way of an expanding  brood 
nest they may move it into the supers with incoming nectar for you to sell  
to your customers as a 'pure' product!
