Title: newbie question
Post by: forrestcav on April 06, 2011, 07:58:00 PM
ok. my bees are enroute,  i know i'm running late. Got my bodies ready and am waiting impatiently. I know i've got to feed, but was wondering about HBH or a home version. Yes? No? or just stick to sugar water. I want to give them a good start before the summer derth kicks in. I will listen to any opinion open mindedly

you are not running late.  April is the time most bees ship.  personally, i would just stick with sugar water.

All I've ever used was sugar water.
