I'm getting really confused and it has to do with reading too much into something. Yesterday I looked into one of my hives and found only 2 frames of bees on them. I had placed a rim on top of the deep along with dry sugar and a pollen patty. This part was done about a month ago when we had some good weather to open the hive.
I'm assuming they are starving at this point since there is only 2 frames of bees.
I placed a mix of 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water into a ziploc bag onto the shim close to the 2 frames of bees and of course cut two slits in the ziploc bag for emergency feeding.
My question, I did not boil the sugar water, did I make a mistake here? And do you think my hive is doomed at this point?
