New Bee Keeper - no bees yet.

When I arrived home this evening the Fumagilin-B and 10 lb of Mega Bee Patties were sitting on my front porch. Should I keep those things refrigerated until gone?

Talk about "the cart before the horse." Yes, refrigerate the patties. Put the Fumagillin away and don't use it unless you have a problem. Do you medicate yourself or kids before any sign of illness?

Keep the patties cold and the Fumagillin out of the sunlight.
Hint. it's sold in a dark plastic container.
I store my Fumagillin in the fridge.
Do use the Fumagillin.

Same when mixed. Place an empty super over the pail or jar and cover with a lid. Sunlight breaks down the fumagilin really really fast. (45 minutes like fast)
Store powder in a cool dark dry place.

:doh: Good point. But then, not to argue with experience, there is the ounce of prevention point of view. I think I'll take your advice though. I tend not to care for chemicals in food products.
