Dean,
Something that has not been mentioned yet. If you are
building comb for honey production you DO NOT want to feed the bees
syrup of any kind. If you do, you will in all probability be
adulterating your honey with artificial sweetners (sugar). The
suggestions I've heard is to stop feeding about a week before putting on
supers for honey collection. The rest of you out there correct me if
I'm mistaken. But, don't feed with honey supers on.
