For the first time in 10 years, I'm going to have to feed sugar syrup. I've always used cutout honey and I'm already out of that. Don't know what is going on with the fall flow here but it seems non existent and my six colonies definitely don't have enough stores with which to go into winter.
Just mixed 5 gallons of 5:3 syrup with added HoneyBHealthy.
I can't seem to find directions for bulk syrup feeding for Nosevit; only drench or spray. My question is this: How much Nosevit is added to syrup for feeding? Or is this just not done?

Follow the link, I think this is the info you seek: 1 teaspoon per quart of syrup, is what stated.

Thanks Van. I looked this link over previously but the directions are unclear as to whether this is drench, spray or general feeding - or all - unless I'm not seeing something here.
I don't know the answer to your question but why not just spray or drench. You want bees to consume not store treatment. Here is article/study from scientific beekeeping that may or may not give some insight. http://scientificbeekeeping.com/nosema-drench-treatment-trial/
