I have 6 hives that need supplemental feeding.  I have made what I
call "sugar cakes" or others call them candy boards by heating sugar
mixed with water.  My first problem is that I have lost the recipe.
Can anyone help me out?
 
Secondly, my memory indicates that the process of making the cakes is
messy and sometimes not always successful.  The cakes were placed on
the top frames so that the bees would have a supplemental food source.
 
IS THERE A BETTER WAY?  Any ideas would be appreciated.
