Dear John:
    This is a very important subject since bees must "perform actual work",
and thus
spend energy removing the water from the food given to them (in the sugar
syrup).
The recommended ratio is;   twice the amount of sugar to water BY WEIGHT!
You must weight the sugar and the water.  Aside:  It does not hurt if you
overdo the amount of sugar, but it does if you overdo the amount of water.
Please write back if you still have
questions.
Best regards.
