> I need an affordable-as-possible and efficient way to mix up the required volume all at once. A trash pump and agricultural container ie. 50 gallons capacity has been suggested. I would rather not work with a gas powered engine....are there pumps you can plug in to the house current and/or portable power supply that will mix 50 gallons of both 1:1 and 2:1?? Other tidy and easy to run options? Note: I have no local supplier of premixed sugar syrup.

I bought one of these and mix sugar in a 50 gal barrel with a spigot on the bottom. Works great for small sideliners. As far as amount to feed, I feed depending on hive inspection.

Good luck
