Thats interesting, I had a conversation with the person doing the labwork and they said this Quote: Some hives in the study had high infections (up to 11 million spores per honey bee)that were also not showing any signs of infection. So I personally would assume N. ceranae. Which would explain a lot for why some hives just dont do well some years and peter out. Wet warm weather in Dec thru Feb, with early building and low early pollen are the years I normally have issues with  N. apis. But I can see that. This N. ceranae is a totally different animal, it will be interesting to see if the spore count drops going into summer or if it goes up.

Making creamed honey for your grandkids sounds like a sweet idea! For a really creamy texture, try using a small amount of finely crystallized honey as your "seed honey." This will help kickstart the crystallization process and create fine grains.

Yes, dry sugar straight works.  But they are not going to go to a lot of effort to store it.  If you don't clump it up a bit then they may haul it out for trash.  See the link above for details.
5
So it would be safe to just give them straight sugar? I have heard of sugar patties or loaf or whatever they want to call it and syrup but I hadn't hear of just straight sugar. I figured bees couldn't handle it for some reason.
6
Generally I feed syrup, but that depends on the time of year and the goal.  When you feed dry sugar it keeps them from starving and it usually doesn't get stored much, but it's there if they need it.  Syrup is more useful if you want it to get stored or if you want to stimulate brood.
7
MB, in what form is the sugar when you are giving it to them?

I've done my best to transcribe these.  Biden is usually slurring his words and it's hard to capture that, it also makes it difficult to transcribe at all, but I have spelled things the way they seem to sound.  These odd spellings are not typographical, they are attempts to capture what was said.

"so there's there there I I don't I have I must tell you I don't have a near term answer but there's two things I can do.  I can go in the petroleum reserves and take out and probably reduce release reduce the price of gas maybe 18 cents or so a gallon.

"It would put 720 million women back in the workforce"--Joe Biden
There are only 330 million people in the US.  Of those about 200 million are adults of working age.  Of those about 100 million are women of working age... and of those 71.75 million are already working.  So if every woman, even the ones who don't want to work, went to work, that would only be about 29 million, a bit less than 720 million by a factor of 25 x...  You'll notice he doesn't just misplace a decimal point here and there... he makes up the numbers on the fly.  Also, according to Biden we lost 120 million to COVID and 150 Million to "Gun Deaths" which only leaves about 60 million people in the entire US of which roughly 20 million must be children and 20 million men of working age and 20 million women of working age.  Since 71.75 million women are working already...

"Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID."--Joe Biden

"In addition to that, I passed the Brady bill with waiting periods. I led that fight. But my friend on my right," Biden said, gesturing to Sen. Bernie Sanders, "and others have in fact also gave in to the gun manufacturers' absolute immunity. Imagine if I stood here and said we give immunity to drug companies. We give immunity to tobacco companies. That has caused carnage on our streets; 150 million people have been killed since 2007, when Bernie voted to exempt gun manufacturers from liability. More than all the wars, including Vietnam, from that point on."--Joe Biden (according to FBI statistics the total "gun deaths" for those 12 years is 180,642. 150 million is off by a factor of 830 times.  The number of U.S. deaths in all wars combined according to Wikipedia is 2.8 Million so saying it's more than the number of deaths in all wars combined is off by a factor of 16)

FBI total gun deaths (all guns) by year (including accidents, suicides, justifiable self defense, justifiable police shootings, murder etc.)
2007-14,916
2008-14,224
2009-13,752
2010-13,164
2011-12,664
2012-12,765
2013-12,253
2014-14,123
2015-13,847
2016-15,355
2017-15,206
2018-14,446
2019-13,927
Total: 180,642

120 million to Covid and 150 million to guns would be 270 million people dead, leaving only 60 million Americans alive.

I try to manage them so they won't need to be fed.  Most years I don't feed them at all.  When I do need to feed them, I use white sugar.  Solids are not good for bees.  Brown sugar is not good for bees.  Molasses is not good for bees.  The more refined the better.  I add some ascorbic acid to the syrup to lower the pH and make it keep better.
