I wouldn't see why not. I would let it cool down before you did. i wouldn't want them to burn their little mouths.

Just be sure you have not burned the honey or caramalized the sugars.  Burnt honey is very bad for bees and will cause nosema-like symptoms.  I'd be sure they can have plenty of time for flying, just in case, before feeding heated honey.

The taste is awfull. Sugar price is 1 $/kilo. How much you earn if you give to bees that stuff.  :shock:

If you have AFH spores they are alive in melted honey.
