> As far as beekeepers thinking that one or two patties are enough, that is no longer the case with successful US commercial beeks. Many are feeding 15-30 lbs per year.

Yes.  I realize that, however the vast majority of beekeepers, including many, if not all the Alberta commercial beekeepers are still underfeeding and timing what they do feed badly -- IMO.

It takes money to make money, but many beekeepers are really, really cheap.  The guys who are doing well are the guys who invest in their bees.
