As the title says really. They are a small caste swarm that i have been feeding since day 1. They are undergoing Api Life Var treatment and due to their small size i didnt want to stop feeding during this. This is the first time i have put thymol in their syrup and they are not amused. Some of them have even thrown themselves in the syrup and drowned they are that disgusted with the stuff!
Do you think this is just a thymol overload or are they never going to take the syrup?
I mixed it as it said on the pot from Th****s and if anything i put slightly less in because i thought the smell was so strong.
I dont want the poor little buggers to starve, so do i ditch the syrup or persevere?
