> If it goes away in days the bees must be moving it.

In 20 years I have never seen a bee go anywhere near it - they are repelled and move away.  When we put the second and third doses into lids there may be the odd bee in the empty lid, but it will move away very fast when the crystals are added.

Best wishes
