GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Re: Community Feeding
« Last post by FatherMichael on May 19, 2024, 09:11:39 pm »The theory is that any bees that would look for robbing opportunities would rather drink from a community trough than fight a bunch of guard bees to get in a hive.I agree with this theory, but only while the feeder is in place. It's when you remove the feeder that you can have robbing problems, because the bees who were visiting the feeder will look for a source of food close by when they can't find the feeder anymore.
All creatures behave better if they have what they need.
But if we feed only during dearth?
