I made a concoction of several ingredients, cane sugar powdered sugar, creme of Tartar, apple cider vinegar, HBH, Honey, and a little water boiled it, then let it set, on wax paper, let it set for about 3 weeks now I have some candy for the winter.
Well, I made too much so I have left over, put in in plastic bowls placed it in a spare closet.
When the temperature is warm, my bees are active, so I go place the candy on top of my hive, open up the lid, and they are all over it when the sun is out!
At night, I place the lid back on and bring it back inside the house. I'm hoping they will eat this stuff and leave the stored honey for the cold spells, oh by the way, future weather models state a cold front and heavy snowfall will come to the middle of the USA around 12/12/2012. After that date it's gonna stay cold for the Midwest to east coast for some time, but as we all know about weather, it's subject to change!
