I just started two hives with Italian packages last week. I'm starting with new supers and frames, should I be feeding my bees? If so is sugar syrup the right food?
Spring has finally come around, trees are flowering, grass is growing and the sun is usually shining.
How do I know that the bees will have enough food? And is supplementing their diet with sugar water going to help them work and build out the comb in these new frames. I'm just about to read Michael Bush's Natural beekeeping book.
I'm aware that the ph of sugar syrup is more acidic and sugar syrup is more alkaline.
thanks!
