I started with two packages last spring, and both have made it through the winter. However one hive, has about 10 or 12 bees, out flying around it, while the other hive has hundreds out flying around it, and some are bringing in pollen,(here in southern MI) already.
Both hives were treated the same, and fed the same. No chemicals just powered sugar. My Question is how can I help my weak hive. I just mixed up a batch of the Tuscon diet for patty's, and I am feeding them granulated sugar.
I am worried sick, about the weak hive,but I cant sit out there, and rock the hive, and spoon feed them chicken soup.
Is there anything else I can do?
