    Still wont eat ft, wont even tag, any tips?

    okay so this is the 6th feeding time i attempted f/t on my "live fed" bee.

    the 5th time it tagged the ft but let go after realizing its not live.

    now the 6th time, he totally just ignored and passed it just like before, he smells it but seems like he doesnt like the smell and just passes it as if he is disgusted by it (and acts like he is afraid of it).

    as usual, i feed the ft to my normals after several failed attempts on my bee, no problem with my normals i dont even re-heat the ft and they just eat it right away. :/

    any tips?

    * so far i tried hair dryer and thawing in hot water and drying on paper towel, still no luck

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
