Bob was wise not to give formulas, as one really needs to be careful. There
is a small margin of safety, and many have hurt their bees.
Applied properly, I don't see any problems, except for the occasional hive
that has a small one-day adult mortality.
I use a garden sprayer to dribble in a stream, but will tell you that most
beeks tend to overapply with a garden sprayer. Make sure that you calibrate
the output!
