BEES
Terramycin is recommended as an aid in the prevention and control of American foul brood and European foul brood in bees. Use Terramycin as directed below.

DUSTING DIRECTIONS: Use 1 level teaspoonful of Terramycin Soluble Powder (TSP) per ounce of powdered sugar per colony, or 1 lb TM-10 (Terramycin) per 2 lb powdered sugar, applying 1 ounce of this mixture per colony. Apply the dust on the outer parts or ends of the frames. Usually 3 dustings at 4-5 day intervals are required in the spring and/or fall at least 4 weeks before the main honey flow to prevent contamination of marketable honey.

SYRUP DIRECTIONS: Use 1 level teaspoonful of Terramycin Soluble Powder (TSP) per 5 lb jar containing 1:1 sugar syrup per colony. Dissolve Terramycin Soluble Powder in a small quantity of water before adding to syrup. Bulk feed the syrup using feeder pails or division board feeders or by filling the combs. Usually 3 applications at 4-5 day intervals are required in the spring and/or fall at least 4 weeks before the main honey flow to prevent contamination of marketable honey.

WARNING: All Terramycin medicated supplements should be fed early in the spring or fall and consumed by the bees before main honey flow begins to avoid contamination of production honey. Honey or syrup stored during medication periods in combs for surplus honey should be removed following final medication of the bee colony and must not be used for human food. Honey from bee colonies likely to be infected with foul brood should not be used for preparation of medicated syrup supplements since it may be contaminated with spores of foul brood and may result in spreading the disease.
