Title: sugar water
Post by: sean on August 27, 2007, 09:18:38 AM
Morning, I mixed some sugar water on friday but didnt use all of it. it was in the van overnight then placed in the fridge from saturday. Would it still be safe for the bees?

you will know when it is no longer good for the bees.  It will start to ferment on you and get a little cloudy....

I thought anything 1:1 or heavier couldn't ferment?

Even if it did just start to ferment you could still feed it. The bees just  my be (FWI) flying while intoxicated. :)
A couple of days wont hurt anything.

It will be fine. feed to the bees so they don't have to find out how depressing the landscaping actually is.
