Pure Comb Honey from www.DurhamsBeeFarm.com Feeding Honeybees info for new beekeepers. The most critical time to watch your bees is not in the Winter, provided they have enough honey, but in the Spring right before the big honey flow starts. The Queen starts laying in Jan. and increases laying every day and the hive might reach a very large number of bees right before the honey flow (as we beekeepers call it) starts. Sometimes the bees will actually be living hand to mouth just before the heavy spring nectar flow. One day of rain could mean the difference between death of the hive or making a good honey crop. Regardless of the amount of sugar syrup you are mixing, a good rule of thumb is fill the container ½ with sugar then finish filling with warm water mixing well so the sugar will dissolve.
