Thanks. Since I made this video, I learned how to use the powdered sugar bellows to apply the sugar. While it didn't work so well in the video I made about it, turns out it was just a matter of turning the supply tube upright for a proper gravity feed--- duh! So, I recommend the bellows, although it's also easy to spread a hunk of scrap screen over the top of the hive and brush the powdered sugar through. Good luck with your new hobby!
I think that's "dearth" as in "short supply"
