Thymol Pre Mix Recipe 30g thymol crystals placed in honey jar, add 5ml of isopropyl alcohol to the crystals, place jar into a water bath of boiling water to speed up the dissolving process. In another jar pour in 140 ml of boiling water and add 1 teaspoon of lecithin granules, stir well, and place this jar into a water bath of boiling water, stirring often for about ten minutes or so until most of the lecithin granules have dissolved, you can then strain this mixture through a tea strainer or similar to remove any granules that have not dissolved fully, then simply add the dissolved thymol to this mix, and shake well, will look just like a jar of milk. To use add 5ml to each gallon of syrup and stir well, syrup will go milky, unlike when using the old original mix. If the mixture forms any crystals at a later date, tip into old small pan and reheat, do this outdoors. you add 5ml of this mix to 1 gallon of sugar syrup

Hi. I have read that it is possible to spray thymol onto the bees to ensure an even take up. Is it the pre-syrup mixture (water, thymol, alsohol and lecithin) or the mixture including the syrup? Thanks.
