In message <[log in to unmask]>, Christopher Reed <[log in to unmask]> writes Correction (I have reread the article I referred to!) Interesting that Johansson and Johansson recommend 61% which is close enough to 6kg to 4l for the autumn feed as it gives the *best conversion* should be "highest concentration without risk of granulation in the feeder"; *61%* I cannot find in the article so I must suppose my memory was faulty on this too as both 64% and 60% are mentioned, which is slightly contradictory. Sorry for the correction: the article throws figures at the reader and it is hard to draw some of them together to identify best practice in all respects. It does make for challenging reading as regards the benefit to bees of different types of feeding, many of which are claimed to be of dis-benefit to bees and harvests yet may be in fairly widespread use. It would be nice if the List could recommend an updated equally comprehensive review article, readily available. -- James Kilty :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
