The shelf life is YEARS. Just seems to get better with age for some reason,
a jar of queens setting there.

Tried it once. Took a drop and put it on a clothes pin and put it on line in
bee yard. Bees from all around came to hang on. Great for beards for guys
too! :>)

I add a drop or two every spring. If we want more work in the fall I do it
again in Sep for our fall season.

Right now we are running! It's a good swarming year.Afraid what we will find
in our bee yards in baits, when we go out there this month. Already short of
equipment. But still we will make do. We want the bees.
