Hehe, ok you smarty pants according to the chart for fumagilin-b you should mix 5g with one gallon of syrup. In the past I have tried to measure out 5g on this cheaper kind of scale. The amount is always different. HOW MUCH IS 5g? 1/4tsp, 2tsp WHAT IS IT?  PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME, if not for me the bees.   |

Does't that just burn you up when a label reads like that? They ship truckloads of this stuff into the U.S. but apparently don't reconize who the customer is.
Well, anyway, it comes one rounded tsp per gallon of syrup.
Drop the Fumigilin into a pint gar with a little warm water and shake well.
Pour the mix into the syrup and mix well.
Two gallons of heavy syrup medicated this way is prescribed for the control of Nosema disease.
If you find that your hives are in need of additional feed, continue to feed syrup without the fumigillin.
Generally, dependant on many variables, each gallon of feed should add 7 -8 lbs of weight to a well stocked hive. If your hive is feather light, you will be feeding them at the same time so the weight will not start to show for a few feedings.
