I made a powdered sugar :dispenser" several years ago using a leafblower and
clothes dryer outlet tubing(whatever its called-that aluminized 6in or so
tube), a 5 gallon bucket and a honey super.
It was real simple and worked real well.
Basically you cause the inflow tube from the blower to be somehat buried in
the sugar (in the bucket) and the outflow to come out the top through
another section of tube into the super, which was placed on top of the
hive....you could see a fog of powdered sugar come out the front of the
hive. Never noticed it hurting the bees but it looked like it had snowed in
the hive......
