A while back a guy selling this product basically told me the same thing. He
did not reckon it a practical or particularly desireable method for my
situation, where bees are on a crop right into September, and are of a strain easily
stressed.
Add in the practicality of doing it to 200 plus colonies every day to get
round the once a week requirement, and this too at a time when brood rearing is
still present, albeit in sharp decline, and the numbers just don't stack up.
