"If your colony is really week you should not give them sugar syrup."
 
Of course, he is completely right, especially in the fall.  Colonies that
are really weak should be combined with other strong colonies in the fall.
 
I was referring to spring colonies that do not have sufficient amounts of
stores.  A package is one such colony, over-wintered nucs are another.
