1. Mix 4 Ibs. of powdered sugar and 8 oz. of pure finely ground garlic powder (no salt). This is an 8 to 1 ratio. For heavier infestations, you can go as high as a six to one ratio. Mix very thoroughly.

2. Remove all the supers down to the bottom brood box.

3. Take about 2oz. of the mixture in the palm of your hand and sprinkle it on top of the frames, bees and all, making them white.

4. Set #2 brood box back on top of your # 1 brood box and repeat the procedure.

5. If using 3 brood chambers, then repeat one more time.

6. Replace any supers left to their original position and replace the hive cover.

NOTE: THIS TREATMENT SHOULD BE REPEATED AFTER TEN DAYS TWICE.

NOTE: This amount will treat 18 to 20 hives.

ADJUST THE INGREDIENTS TO THE REQUIRED AMOUNTS TO TREAT THE NUMBER OF HIVES YOU HAVE, BUT KEEP THE RATIOS CONSTANT.
