5:3 FALL SUGAR WATER MIX

Five Parts SUGAR TO Three parts WATER


4# SUGAR (64 OUNCES) 2 ½# WATER39 OZ.+/- 1 ¼ QUARTS
5# SUGAR (80 OUNCES) 3# WATER 48 OZ. 1 ½ QUARTS
8# SUGAR (128 OUNCES) 5# WATER 80 OZ. +/- 2 ½ QUARTS
9# SUGAR (144 OUNCES) 5½# WATER 90 OZ. +/- 2 ¾ QUARTS
10# SUGAR (160 OUNCES) 6# WATER 96 OZ. 3 QUARTS

Note: The sugar plus the water makes slightly more than twice the water, e.g., 5 pounds of sugar plus 1 1/2 quarts of water will produce about 3 1/4 cups of sugar water.

Thanks to Mike Bush for suggesting my making 5:3 ratio rather than 2:1 for fall feeding; this is working much better.
