This January I had some bees running out of food, but gave them 2:1 sugar:water. I don't know if they have made it this far, but I really wish I found your site earlier. I was definitely concerned about them needing to evaporate water in the colder temperature. I’m so happy I found your awesome sight.

It takes a lot of heat to keep it boiling. If it starts to crust on top, it is ot getting enough heat. George,
