Feeding Bees Sugar Water During Winter: It's Tricky So Please Read This To Avoid Hurting the Colony.2/26/2021 From Peirre Deyris Creations - Who Corrected The Instagram Re-post Below:
Ok first of all I am a beekeeper. You should absolutely not do that (regarding the pic posted below). It is very bad for the bees. First people don’t know which kind of sugar to use, also there is two different ratios for sugar syrup. The 1:1 to stimulate wax production and brood (population augmentation) and 2:2 to feed in emergency “if needed”. Feeding like that will hurt the bees, cause that will create a fake nectar flow. The Problem: Queen will lay a lot too soon and if people stopped to provide the syrup until spring bloom, hives/hive will starve to death or will turn weak and will manage badly pest, mites or diseases. Let the bees be. They don’t need us, we need them. Spring is on the corner and the freeze will allow seeds to grow and provide even more flowers we never see because we don’t have a real freeze in the south. Bee mindful ! From Dandy Lion Emporium: Thank you for your input. You gave us a lot of good info :) From Peirre Deyris Creations: www.instagram.com/pierredeyris.creations/ @dandy_lion_emporium always happy to talk about bees ! Final Note from Dandy Lion Emporium: The Instagram Post Below Meant Well, But Has Been Shown to Actually Cause a Hive to Lay Young Too Soon and the Early Births May Die if Proper Sugar Support Is Not Maintained. So, Know Your Bee Sugar Types, Syrup Ingredient Ratios, and How to Properly Feed the Bees if Necessary in Your Region's Climate in Emergencies Only. If Anyone Else Would Like to Put in Professional Input, Please Respond Bee-low in the Comments :) We'd Love to Learn More on This Topic. We Can All Learn The Proper Way to Help, When Help Is Needed.
