Last week I finallly got around to extracting my fall crop. (I stay 3 months behind.) After I had uncapped it, I smelled some fermented honey in the combs. Will it be okay to feed it back to the bees either by leaving it out for them to rob or by feeding it in jars inside the hives?
I wouldn't feed it until spring when they can fly easily in case it gives them dysentery.
I've never seen bees eat fermented honey. If it's really fermented they won't touch it.
Do not feed it. Find some one to trade it to who makes stump juice.
If they do eat it it will give them (dis).
doak :)

The correct name is Kickapoo Joy Juice, :cheer: and yes it will give the bees dysentery and man a hangover.
Is that anything like stagger tea?... :lau:
