I have another newbee question. :-D In the fall i did some open feeding (1/1 sugar water with EO mixed) to build up my hives. It worked very well. They built up a medium to about 70%. Now for the question......... when i put my honey supers on this spring and lets say they move some of this sugar honey  with EO up into the honey supers and we extract it as honey with the other, is this ok? I have read where EO can be dangerous. Just my mind doing what it does best.....rambling! lol

If the concentration wasn't potent enough to kill the bees when they collected it or moved it,  I would venture a guess it won't kill you  :evil:

It would taste like crap though.

Scott
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907
