Bob said, 
  "My opinion is ( and results of my own testing) that beekeepers feed to 
thick a syrup which slows the bees down. The syrup mixture needed for the 
bees to produce wax as fast as a honey flow needs to be as thin as nectar 
in my opinion."

Bob, How thin are we talking here?  1 to 1 or even thinner?  Is there a 
diference between trying to get comb drawn in the fall and in the spring?
