Drenching can kill a percentage of bees coated with the syrup.  We  found 
that a shot of Honey Bee Healthy was sufficient to get colonies that  weren't 
taking syrup, to resume feeding, and thus, take the medicine.
 
We also get better control by using 2 applications at the recommended dose  
- about a week apart; then using a double strength dose.
 
Its worth trying - can't say that the HBH will work if the colonies are  
really in bad shape, but it works for us.
