I recently put 1:1 syrup in top feeders on two new hives that weren't fully drawn. It seems to work here (90-degree days, 55-degree nights).
However, one of the hives seems to be becoming honeybound. Is there a better feeder style to use this late in the year? Or are the bees simply cutting down the brood area in prep for winter?
Well that would explain my mistake.... I was using 2 to 1 syrup.
