In Bee World, Vol 43, No. 1 (1962) there is an article by H. Ruttner on The
 Percolation Feeder. In it he states that the bees cannot satisfactorily process
 (invert) more than 2-3 pounds of sugar per day. Six of his seven references are
 in German (understandable). Does anyone know of any English language info on
 this feeding rate? Has anyone ever tried the percolation method of feeding
 cold?
