Making winter feeds for my bees 

You bet

So nice of you

Awesome, thank you!

My pleasure 😊

You're welcome

Sounds right.

of. The way I have done it is to take off the inner cover, place the rim on then put a single piece of newspaper directly on the frames onto which I pour the sugar. Its a good quick fix for emergency feeding.

In my view...Only ever feed sugar syrup made from white granulated sugar....some burnt sugar is toxic to the bees. Also other sugars may have a very high ash content (undigestable materials in it) that means the bees must get out to do a cleansing flight far more frequently thatn they should have to, and in cold weather that means problems. While I am sure they would drink it You are taking risks doing that.

If you have it yes but thats expensive feed.harvesting it and then all the work to give it back. Sometimes sugar syrup is better than some honeys (particularly dark honey)

We tend to here in Maine but not everybody. I believe an upper entrance will be more forgiving of some uncured food, deep snow etc... Then are a lot of reports of hives with no upper entrance becoming far too damp.

@@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer tilt hive forward lets moister out. Also why vent heat out of hive.

White granulated sugar which is sucrose is the best.
