Do you find that bees brood up when your feeding them and don't collect much nectar ?
Acts2:37: Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39: For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40: And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation

I find feeding encourages early brood rearing when nothing is available. When nectar becomes readily available,they seem to not bother the syrup much.

I have noticed that my bees do not bother with syrup when a good flow is on also. I look at it this way. Would you rather have instant coffee or a fresh cup of starbucks?  :-D

I see,so if you want them to brood up early maybe for spring splits,feed them early,right ? Or if you want a big work force when the flow starts,feed them right ?

Only pollen patty feeding helps in early build up. Syrup feeding does not help.
If bees get food from nature, don't feed them. You just fill the brood area with sugar.
