It seems that I have taken a little too much honey this season from my 4
hives and they will be short supply over the approaching winter months. The
Blue Gums do not flower until December in Santa Barbara.
 
What type of feeders work the best:  Division boards (full or super size),
feeder pails, or entrance feeders.?
 
What ratio of sugar to water provides a good winter feed?  Can honey be
added to make it more palliative?
 
Thanks for any input
