FOOD
Bees which went into winter
shoit of food may be saved by
adding gianulated sugar on the
inner cover Not all bees utilize
diy sugar efficiently, but if there
is moistuie available (and there
usually is) most bees will sur
vive on such food
Once the outside temperature
starts to model ate, sugar syrup
( IV2 or 2 parts sugar to 1 part
water by volume) may be fed.
The sugai syiup should be fed
slowly since it should be used to
rear brood rathei than to store as
suiplus
Theie has been some interest
in feeding pollen m the spring.
Pollen substitutes have not been
lecommended in the past, but
tnere is evidence to show that
feeding one pei cent pollen by
