Hello All
Another beekeeper and myself are experimenting with various IPM controls for
varroa, one of which is finely ground sugar (called icing sugar here in
Ireland and perhaps elsewhere). I will have Open Mesh floors on all of my
hives shortly. Can anybody assist me in identifying a means of delivering
the sugar on to the bees on the frames? Perhaps a modification to something
else like a flexible carton etc. to act as a 'puffer'. And how much (say in
ounces or grams should be delivered to each side of the frames? It will save
me time if I can get a ready made working solution.
Thanks for assistance.
