Two Questions.

A thought.. the rapid feeders are well insulated?

Warmth of colony should stop low temp crystalisation...

I went ahead and gassed them and i will let you all know the mite drop in the next 7/9 day's..
Thank's again.

A couple of days should be soon enough to see the result

Its even colder where my hive is Snelly but they are still trying too take the feed..so my gut instinct say's feed them

This late in the season, the only thing I'd feed them is invert: lower water content, won't ferment and bees assimilate it faster.

Fed another 3/4 tonne of sugar made into syrup in the last two days...it definitely won't ferment, they are taking it down fast, last feeding will be done by the end of next week here.
