> What EO, and how much, in what sort of syrup and for how long? > Spearmint, lemongrass and oregano. One quart each in 1:1 using the formula we settled on, for about three-four weeks. I did have the same experience that Bill G had which was slow take down. Eventually they did finish it, just before maples came in. It does not ferment very fast, if at all, so was no too worried about it. I ran a long term test for fermentation and it holds up well. The syrup I put on my now queen-less colony yesterday is already being consumed, and that was 1:1 sugar syrup.
