Haven't bought or used OTC for years now -- my bees just don't seem to need
it -- but a friend was asking, so I looked around.
It seems that Mann Lake, Brushy Mountain, Kelly, etc. are all only offering
pre-mixes and the mixes all feature a soy or similar flour content. Mann
Lake still offers OTC grease patties (IMO, the best way to apply OTC).
In my experience, bees don't take mixes containing flour nearly as well as
the tried-and-true OTC/powdered sugar mixes. In my recent travels, I often
saw Tylosin on the top bars in a lump because it was mixed with flour, not
sugar.
We used to be able to buy OTC straight. I think we still can in Canada, no
problem, but what about the US? Sources?
