I'm a Beekeeper located in Upstate South Carolina, trying to learn my way around. This blog will be a record of my adventures in Beekeeping. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Please join me on my journey...

Making Sugar Boards
We have been feeding our bees 2:1 sugar water with homemade Honey B Healthy this winter. Our hives are a deep body and medium body "married", so the medium was full of honey at the end of the summer. We have a late summer nuc that we want to nurse through the rest of the winter, so we made a sugar board this morning for the nuc. This is our first try with sugar boards and I'm interested to see if they make a difference. Our hive 14 seems to be weaker than the others, so we made one for that hive as well. It has been a good sunny winter day to work the Girls.
