I wouldn't even at 100 yards which I was taught was the distance bees
could direct others to a destination. Certainly I have thought about it
on occasion. You will see from one of my postings that I was taught that
feeding should be specific to the needs of each individual colony. In
addition we have so many beekeepers within flying distance I would be
feeding my neighbours' bees. I lose - they lose (sugar in their honey):
not a good position to be in.
