I was reading about feeding with bee candy and really like the idea - I can prepare it ahead of time, it seems less messy and easier to deliver than liquid feed.
Moreso, I think I could rig up a jig to fill a frame with a block of hardened candy - Making a candy - frame.
What's the drawback of feeding with candy?
Also, on an related note, do I need to feed the bees at all, provided I'm prepared to leave them enough honey overwinter?
If I'm getting a nuc, won't there already be honey in the frames, so I won't need to feed them at installation time?
