Doolittle and Taylor always said the best stimulation is to leave them enough stores in the fall so they have plenty to spend in the spring. If I fed syrup here right now it would kill my bees with the condensation.  Also, if I succeeded at getting them to raise a lot of brood they would get caught in a cold spell and cold starve.  It does not work well in my location.

"Millions of honey at our house" I think is Doolittle's phrase.

I missed that boat in October.  I'm in "plan B" mode.
