Let's say you have some nucs and want to help their build up feeding some sugar syrup.
HOw do you do it?
- feed only at night? (you still have the syrup stored in the combs wich can attract robbers)
- reduce entrance
- don't feed at all?
I had robbing problems last year and some problems this year again; this time on a powerfull hive being attacked right near the weaker one as it had a jar feeder installed(also protected by an empty box). I stopped feeding and robbing stopped after 2 days.
