I am glad you mentioned a 1:2 ratio of sugar to water syrup Frankly, I
think that
is equal or BETTER than 1:1 ratio for queen stimulation.
The reason I don't mention it to casual readers is these "not so careful
people"
tend to confuse it with 2:1 ratio.
Hence, I'll "set the record straight":
For queen stimulation to lay, I think a 1 Sugar to 2 water, 1:2 ratio is best
For spring feeding, I think 1 Sugar to 1 water, 1:1 ratio is best
For fall feeding, the ONLY proper feed is 2 sugar o 1 water, 2:1 ratio
