Dos & Don'ts Of Feeding Bees
1. Do not use an entrance feeder in the fall. It can invite robber bees.
3. Do not feed sugar water alone.
5. Do not trust the amount of honey stored in your hives. Your hive can consume it before winter arrives. Feed!
6. Feed 1:1 liquid in late summer through fall with additives to stimulate brood rearing of bees with winter physiology that live 4-6 months through the winter.
7. Stop feeding liquid when daytime highs are 50 degrees (f) or below.
