George W Imirie asks, "why you do not feed "liquid sugar", syrup, in
the winter?"
 
I think this advice came from a northern subscriber.  In my parts (up-
state New York, Lon ? lat ?, USDA Climate Zone 4) this is right on -
sugar syrup at this time of year is a waste of time, money and effort.
The bees simply won't take the syrup.  I'm sure the advice is different
in kinder, gentler climates, such as those in Maryland.
 
Aaron Morris - thinking bees in NY are not the same as bees in Hawaii!
