Is hivealive not just a more convenient (and more expensive) way of making thymol syrup? from that basis alone it will suit some people, but not othersl
I guess you could use it in place of thymol syrup,
but the instructions say to use 2.5ml per litre adding a minimum of 4 litres to each hive.
it is this 4 litres that is meant to make the difference.
After this continue feeding sugar syrup.
So you can continue using hivealive or use thymol or just straight syrup.
That's my interpretation of what is on the box anyway.
I chose to use it in all of my sugar syrup.
However I am in the fortunate position of keeping bees for pleasure and not for any financial reward, so was happy to pay the additional cost.
