Hi all:
I just installed a new package and of course am feeding them. I know they may not take the sugar water since the flow is on. How long will that sugar water last before it should begin to ferment( I did put HBH in it). I gave each hive a gallon and not sure if they will take it quick enough before it spoils. I know of someone who had sugar water that fermented and the bees died. I guess I would be able to smell the fermentation? Let me know your thoughts. I hate to throw it out if it is still good but don't want to keep it on if spoiled. Thanks!
