I started 3 hives this year. 2 5 frame Nuc's on 5/15 and one 2lb package on 5/16. All are in single hive bodies. I have front feeds for all 3. None of them seem to be consuming much of the sugar water. The sugar water is 2:1. All three hives are drawing out comb, have capped and uncapped brood and are storing pollen and honey.
My question is: How much should they be consuming? I saw a post here where someone said that says their new hive consumed a quart of sugar water in a day.
