I think he said 20 grams. I have no idea how much that is. I have used about one cup per deep hive body and do it once a week at the beginning, tapering off to once every two weeks if it seems appropriate (and as it gets hotter and I get more bored with it). It seems to help.

thanks Dick...i had actually meant to say 20 grams. i really do think he said 20 grams...was I wrong?mh--On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 9:32 AM, Dick Merritt <dickmerritt AT mindspring.com> wrote:
20 oz is 1.25 pounds of sugar (or anything else). That is more than half of a small (2 lb) bag of confectioner's sugar. That is a respectable bunch of sugar for one application.

After some prodding and multiple questions I "think" i heard him say he did 2 treatments 2 weeks apart. My biggest question is did i hear him wrong when he said he only used 20 oz??I thought he said he used that amount because it was equal to the content of the other two treatments(chemicals). Did i miss anything or was that the amount he said he used??If so here is a quick reference chart....and it should be noted that 20oz of a concentrated chemical is WAY more potent than 20 oz of powered sugar by volume.WEIGHT)1 ounce = 28.35 grams
1 pound = 453.59 grams
1 pound = 0.454 kg
That would mean he used less than 1 ounce of powered sugar per treatment. Can those there at the meeting help me because i must have misunderstood him. please help!
Thanks!
