My bees need to build comb.  I read somewhere in this list to use a light
syrup to encourage them to build comb faster. Did I read that correctly, or
did I misinterpreted what I read.  If this is correct, what is the ratio for
a light syrup?  And should I put in HBH or something similar?  My clover and
trefoil are just starting to bloom, but we have had more rain in the last
few week that in the last few years.  So the bees cannot get out much.
 
Thanks for the info...
