>Hmm. If you are going to make recommendations on the use of drugs in syrup
you might want to take the trouble to learn how to convert liters and
gallons.

That's what I was asking PB.

Did you convert the Canada info for me? Not to worry as a list member did 
the complete conversion for my talk except for the drench which I will work 
out as soon as I finish this post.

I have had most my questions answered off list.

The question now is if 2 g. in a liter recommended for drench on the Canada 
label is a higher dose than when fed in 2 gallons of feed or the same.

label in gallons is:

one 9.5 bottle (454 G.) in 44 gallons of 1-1 syrup. However the way I mix is 
by placing the fumidil in approx 88 gallons of syrup ( advice Mid Con) but 
some fed the 44 gallon and follow with a 44 gallon of plain  `1-1 syrup.

I now drench only as cheaper with better results.

My talk is Oct. 6th. at 7PM in Lawrence, Kansas at the library. The meeting 
is the meeting of the Northeast Kansas Beekeepers. I rarely give talks and 
have turned down talks all over the country but close friends twisted my 
arm.


Sincerely,
Bob Harrison

Still using gallon & pound measures. Not familiar with liters and Imperial 
gallons unless a calculator is handy.

Ps.
Thanks to Randy Oliver, Kim Flottum and Nick Behrens for their informative 
emails. Randy Oliver's upcoming Bee Culture article ( Nosema ceranae -Not 
your fathers nosema) is most informative and I thank Randy for sending. The 
news from Kim Flottum is shocking concerning the length of time nosema 
ceranae has been in the U.S. but will let Kim Flottum break the news in his 
next column in Bee Culture.
Beekeeping knowledge is changing fast concerning nosema ceranae. According 
to the facts Kim Flottum shared and after reading Randys next article one 
part of Randys article is dated already concerning the amount of time nosema 
ceranae has been in the U.S.

I also received an email from Kevin Hackett ( USDA-ARS Senior National 
Program leader) saying the Tucson Bee Lab is working hard to find the 
answers to my questions about *why* bees live half as long when fed HFCS as 
compared to sucrose. Kevin says he hopes to have reliable results within the 
next few months.
