If feeding is absolutely needed to accomplish your goals, I recommend feeding dry sugar, for reasons I've enumerated in many places.
Here I talk about what to do when the hive dies anyway or there is leftover sugar in spring.

Conventional beekeeping practices are damaging to the bee population and new beekeepers are often pressured into keeping bees in conventional ways. Treatment-Free Beekeepers of which this channel is a part, is a project I started as a space for treatment-free beekeepers to gather and discuss methods for beekeeping as well as successes and failures, all within a context where they will never be criticized or berated for their choice not to dump pesticides into their hives. It is the only such space on the internet that I am aware of, and has become wildly popular. When I started it, I expected a couple hundred members who would have lots of fun but limited reach. Now it has over 40,000 members and is the third largest beekeeping group on Facebook. This channel is a resource for that effort.
