I have ordered 10 packages for April 17 pickup. I know when I install them (on foundation only) that I have to feed them 1:1 sugar syrup for about the first month so they can draw comb. Today I found a great sale on 5# bags of pure cane sugar and bought 30 bags. My question is - did I buy enough or should I go back and get more? I have done the math and that comes out to about 112 quarts when mixed or roughly 11 quarts per hive. How many quarts of sugar water will a newly installed package consume in that one month? I'm sure it depends on several factors but can you guys give me a best guess please? Thank you.
