For the hobby beekeeper with only a few colonies, a squirt bottle works the
same way. I "calibrated" the squirt amount to see how many squirts made 5ml
then marked the number of squeezes on the bottle to compensate for failing
memory (so I did not have to re-calibrate the next year).
When I first started I used a syringe (50ml from a farm store) but found a
squirt bottle quicker, easier and more accurate. Murray's set-up is
excellent for large yards.
