How to feed the bee to drink water
Water is crucial to honey bee survival. Nectar, which is mostly water, provides some of the needed moisture in a colony, but not nearly all of it, and certainly not enough.Foragers will collect water when there is a need in a colony.
Feed the water outside the moisture tank and feed the water in the tank. The method of feeding water outside the box is to prevent a plastic box filled with water at the entrance of the nest, put a cotton wool strip inside, and put the other end of the sliver on the door of the beehive nest. This allows the bees to pick up water without going out of the box.
Another method is to place a feeder in the box. The general feeder is fed to the nest in two places. Our practice is that the long nest contains syrup and the short part is filled with water. This also eliminates the labor of the worker bees going out to collect water. However, this method should pay attention to the need to put some floating objects on the water, so as not to be flooded when the bees are collecting water.
