Hi Yoon and Everyone,

I tried to use a bee blower at the hive entrance to deliver powdered
sugar dust. I feed sugar into the blower fan's air intake. I didn't get
much dust into the hive, but I sure dusted myself :<) There was too much
resistance to the flow through the hive. It was easier for the air to
come back out the entrance. I think the entrance would have to be blocked
and the cover removed.

A better approach might be to build a special cover with an attachment
for the blowers hose. Then only the cover would need to be removed.

Regards
Dennis
