RE: We Have Bees Again on Fleming Family Farm
Thanks for the article. Bees are next on your homesteading list of must haves but we have several things going now to get done first. I did not know you could supplement with sugar water.
there are different schools of thought regarding supplementation. Some use only dry sugar, some use only syrup mixtures, some use both, and if you are in the right location you may not need any supplemental feed, (ie CA central valley). Pollen patties are needed as well when there is less available in wild.
Cool thanks. I am in North FL so we have lots of things flowering year round but I am sure for a new hive I would need to supplement
