I started beekeeping this spring with 5 packages on 5 new hives. One of the
things I did was to install Terra Patties, but the bees didn't seem to
touch them, and they were eventually removed. We're finished here for the
year now, I am feeding, and I installed Terra Patties again last week. The
bees don't seem interested in the Patties now either. Has anyone else had a
similar experience with bees not accepting the Patties, and should I be
worried about this or should I try using TM powder on the frames to see if
they will eat the powder? And what is the recommended amount of powder to
sprinkle on the frames?

Thanks
