     Hi Michael,

     I use Bee Quick and have the same problem.  I have never been able to get it to work in cold weather and wonder who told you or where you read that it works better in cold weather than Bee Go or Honeyrobber.  I have never read nor heard that.  I also ran a test with another beekeeper and we had the same results you did.  Bee Quick does work well in warm conditions, although you have to wait a little longer.  I also like to give a few puffs of smoke to get the bees moving first.  You also have to give a few squirts of the stuff every once and a while because it seems to evaporate quicker than Bee Go.  I still prefer Bee Quick but for the commercial operation where time and labour are important, it just isn't feasible.  Mediums are preferred, while deeps seem to be a little too much.  I only run mediums for supers so I don't have a problem.
