Eltalia; In many areas the nectar flows are weak and intermittent, and a new package
of bees started on foundations must be fed to give the bees sufficient sugar for them
to draw wax.
(edit)
I do know the arguments ARB, simply put I disagree with most of
them - justifiably so.
As put many times now I do not comment on feeding bees as the
mentality is so ingrained any steerage towards sustainable
beekeeping is wholly wasted effort.
As one aspect I roll my eyes when I read TF proponents listing
measures to feed bees. Those folk must be accepting advice from
quite different sources to those I follow.
