Tim:
Careful here. With all the honey pulled even in this
country
and sugar and syrups fed back these words:

>In the lean season, the hungry bees are normally fed sugar
>by beekeepers, resulting in production of poor quality
>honey.

.....could even apply to a lot of honey here produced, for
where does feeding stop and extraction begin? How would you
separate it? Do beekeepers let all the sugar/syrups fed be
eaten out? How do they change contents of combs from
artificial to now just nectar/honey?

Food for thought....
