Ricc, I'm going out today to get some. If this is the case across the board then this is a fantastic addition to winter food. Looking forward to trying this on my colonies.

Be very careful, Ricc, that you maintain the perfect conditions when you set up the new container. I have seen great colonies crash when moved because temp or (mainly) humidity is not correct in a larger area. Just keep an eye on it.
