My husband and I have split up, beekeeping was his hobby though I paid for all the equipment, they're here at my house, he's nowhere to be found. Could someone give me a real quick and dirty synopsis of what I need to do to care for these? I have 4 hives and I have grown rather fond of their presence in the garden. I noticed that the sugar water ran out yesterday, (first sunny day in a week) so I tried to refill the containers last night not knowing what proportion of sugar to water but faking it best I can. I don't want to loose these hives and plan on hitting the bookstore in a day or 2 but in the meantime I would appreciate any beekeeping lessons. Thanks Teri
