The two national hives guzzled it up. I left it on the nuc until first inspection a couple weeks ago and it slowly went down. Also in the later batches I added red food colouring (I've been toying with whether to mention this on open forum or not ) and for me that has really worked. They stored it and we could see straight away which frames had syrup with a red tinge in. This made it easier to identify what to take out before they got a super and moved it about.
All the combs look good and it seems none of the colonies were put off taking it down. I would imagine a drawback with this is even if a tiny bit gets in your supers and extracted, there'll be a thymol tinge to honey. This is what I really want to avoid. I want, just like most beekeepers, my honey to be as near 100% the purest of pure honey it can be.
