sugar water ratio

[dpence]

Hello all,
     I have probably been doing it all wrong so I am asking.  I use a 50/50 by weight mixture of sugar and water for a new packages in the spring.  What is recommended after the combs are drawn and the nectar flow is coming on?  Spring build up of established hives?  What about fall feeding?  Thanks.

You only need to feed until there is a flow. Its a little early to worry about fall  :-D  If you keep feeding during a flow you will either dilute your honey with syrup or feed the yellow jackets or both. There is a massive amount of posts on feeding here. Do a search on feeding and you will have plenty of info to keep you busy for awhile.
