    Mixing and Use Directions for Honey Bees

    To manufacture a Type C medicated feed containing 200 mg of oxytetracycline hydrochloride activity per oz (dusting Type C Medicated feed) mix 7 lb of Terramycin 100MR with 211 lb of powdered sugar (for a total of 218 lb). The resulting Type C medicated is fed as-is for dusting or may be used to prepare syrup and extender patty feeds.

    Feeding Directions for Dusting:

    Dusting: Apply 1 oz (200 mg oxytetracycline) of dusting Type C medicated feed per colony every 4 to 5 days for a total of 3 applications. Apply the dust on the outer parts or ends of the frames.

    Caution: Dusting of uncapped brood cells has been reported to cause death of larval honey bees. Do not dust uncapped brood cells.

    Preparation and Feeding Directions for Syrup:

    Preparation: First dissolve 1 oz (200 mg oxytetracycline) of the dusting Type C medicated feed in a small quantity of water, then mix into 5 lb of 1:1 sugar syrup (equal parts sugar and water. w/w).

    Feeding: Feed 5 lb of syrup (200 mg oxytetracycline) per colony every 4 to 5 days for a total of 3 applications. Bulk feed the syrup using feeder pails, or division board feeders, or by filling the combs. Prepare fresh syrup for each application.

    Preparation and Feeding Directions for Extender Patty:

    Preparation: Make one patty by mixing 4 oz (800 mg oxytetracycline) of the dusting Type C medicated with 5.8 oz. (165 g) of vegetable shortening and 11.6 oz (330 g) of sugar.

    Feeding: Place one patty per colony on the top bars of the brood nest frames in a single application.

  • WARNING:

    Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings: Remove at least 6 weeks prior to main honey flow. Type C medicated feeds should be fed in the spring or fall and consumed by the bees before main honey begins to avoid contamination of production honey. Honey stored during medication periods in combs for surplus honey should be removed following final medication of the bee colony and must not be used for human food.

    Warning: Do not use in a manner contrary to state apiary laws and regulations. Each state has specific regulations relative to disease control and medications. Contact the appropriate official or state departments of agriculture for specific inter- and intrastate laws and regulations.

    NOT FOR HUMAN USE.
