 I know that terramycin degrades quickly in liquid, but when the bees are feeding
quickly (they finish a quart while I'm at work during the day lately when I
provide it), wouldn't it be best to put the recommended dosage in the syrup?  I've
read that it can lose it's effectiveness within a day, but if the bees ingest all
the medicine within a few hours, it seems better than having it sit on the top
bars, sometimes for several days, getting moist and hot from the hive environment.
No?
