 I have several hundred lbs. of extracted dark honey taken from disease
free hives that I lost to the mites over winter. I would like to feed it
back to the seven hives that I will try to winter this year. The question
that I have is should I dilute it, if so how much. If I do not dilute it
then what would anyone suggest for the addition of Fumagillin. I feed
using the one gallon Zip-Loc baggies laid on an excluder under a shallow
super with both spring (1:1) and fall (2:1) syrups. Can I use this set-up
feeding honey.
 
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
