Anyone got a goood recipe for the ultra bee dry (to turn it into patties or a slurry).
Thinking of giving it a go for the next month to try and build a few colonies up for the heather.
I use a cement mixer to make up the product. With the same ratio of ingredients, you might mix a smaller batch in 5 gallon bucket with a drill and paint mixer.
Add to mixer:
17 lb. hot water
42 lb. sugar.
Mix until sugar is dissolved.
Add 6 cups vegetable oil
Add 25 lb. UltraBee...SLOWLY.
Mix until chunks are gone.
