Hello!
 
I have a question about feeding.  I read that the proper fall feed was 2 parts
sugar, and 1 part water.  Well, almost everytime I have made syrup 2:1, it has
crystalized before the bees could drink it all.  So, I decreased the sugar to
1 3/4:1, which seems to fix the problem.  But - will this lessened sugar
content have any ill effects?  I have a entrance feeder, so when the sugar
crystalizes, it plugs the holes and does not allow any more liquid to pass
through.
 
Thanks!
Dar
