How to properly feed bees in autumn and winter?
n winter, there are fewer and fewer outside sources, and it is getting harder and harder for bees to collect winter food. Many people choose to feed bees with syrup. The benefits of using a small amount of honey to feed bees are very good. You don't need a sugar bottom to feed honey, so you can get a lot of honey. There is also no way to compare the nutrients of syrup and honey. The health bee is more healthy, but it can be used according to different conditions. How to properly feed bees?
First, we must grasp the timing of feeding, and we must feed it before the arrival of the cold, to avoid the bees from being futile, and to disrupt the normal life order of the bees.
The second is to improve the quality of feeding. First, the concentration of syrup or honey should be properly increased, preferably around 1:0.8.
Third, the amount of feeding should be appropriate. The Italian bee has more investment, the Chinese bee has less investment, the strong group has more investment, the weak group has less investment, the deposit of more honey is less, and the investment of less honey is less.
Fourth, when feeding for the first time, the temperature of the sugar water is higher than the temperature at that time, attracting the bees to suck.
(Tips: Be sure to pay attention to ants and thieves to take honey and sugar water, once found to immediately destroy the ant nest, remember not to hurt the bees)
