I am using Feed Bee from Walter T. Kelley.   I currently am using a 2:1 
sugar:water ratio and mix to a moderately tough bread dough texture.  I then 
divide into small enough balls to flatten into 4" X 4" X 3/4" patties.  I put 
the ball of "dough" between a folded sheet of wax paper and then flatten to the 
above mentioned dimensions.  In the past I have used a 1:4 sugar:water ratio as 
the wetting agent to form the patties.  I try to place the patties directly 
above the brood nest.   In the past they have been consumed in a timely manner.  
When I added a pollen patty to my queen finishing colony I used a 1:1 mixture of 
previously trapped pollen and Feed Bee.
