Hi folks. OK, I've been watching the traffic for a while and I've seen lots of messages that say: "Keep feeding 1:1 sugar water, the bees will stop taking it when there is a good source of nectar." Here in MA just west of Boston, I have 2 hives and have boardman feeders on each. The hives seem to go through a quart of 1:1 sugar water every 2-3 days, and they don't seem to be slowing down. I put fresh on last night and one hive had made a noticible dent by this morning! I am concerned that the honey that I get is going to be made from this sugar syrup instead of nectar. So, I'm asking again... Should I be feeding my hives 1:1 sugar water still or should I stop? Is it possible that there is such a dearth of nectar in the area that they need this to survive? Voices of experience, let me know what you think. Thanks. --glen
