Feeding Question for this time of year

Post by p51d »

At the meeting Kurt and others said it was time to feed your bees..

I have honey supers on several hive at 75% worked and the honey supers are not capped.

If I supplement with sugar water, won't that define the honey at not 100% pure.

Feed with pollen patties???

recommendations are appreciated on the subject.

Never feed with honey supers on. If they have enough coming in to make a surplus for you, they don't need feeding. If not, they need to keep all they have, so there is no surplus for you.
