Application Recommendations:
Basic Hive Maintenance:
Mix 1 to 2 teaspoon Optima in 1 gallon syrup and feed through preferred hive feeder.

A small 100ml (3.3 oz.) bottle goes a long way, mixing with up to 20 gallons of light syrup. This is the minimum recommendation for basic hive maintenance. You can mix heavier concentration depending on hive and environmental conditions. Some beekeepers use up to 4 teaspoons Optima per gallon syrup in hive feeder applications.
