[SDCBeeks] Feeding Bees

[Mark J. Sommer]

Have bees out off Old Santa Fe Trail and we're having to feed them.  Bees off St. Michael's (about a mile as the crow flies), not having to be fed.

 

Don't waste your money on organic sugar.

Is anyone else having to feed your bees? I am supplementing sugar water to get two new packages stronger. I am buying the organic cane sugar from Trader Joe's, Should it rather be plain white sugar?

 

I also notice next to no pollen coming in. Should I provide a pollen supplement ?

 

I live just behind the hospital on Don Gaspar Ave.

 

Thanks!  Haydon
