GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Re: What did you do in your Apiary/Bee yard today?
« Last post by The15thMember on May 26, 2024, 12:58:33 pm »Somehow I got in my mind that they used it to build comb but I can't pinpoint where I got that Idea. Those jars are about empty and will be empty today and will not get refilled.I think that's a wise choice at this point. Bees will only draw comb when there is a flow on, so by feeding them when they arrived, you mimicked a flow to get them going. But now that they have 2 boxes basically drawn, they have enough comb to do what they need to do with the naturally cycle of your flows. So they will now draw when there is a flow, but not draw when there is a dearth. Does that make sense?
I was just giving the upfront and honest answer.I haven't eating any significant quantity of stored syrup (for obvious reasons), but I'd imagine it would have hardly any flavor. It's the nectar that determines the flavor of the honey. Stored syrup is not honey, either factually or legally. Adulterated honey, honey with some syrup mixed in, is also not legally honey, but it probably wouldn't be noticeably different from pure honey (which is why it ends up on grocery store shelves far too often).I don't anticipate honey this year so if I get any to steal, I'll feel lucky. If I do, I won't be selling any and I made sugar water as a kid so I'd probably like sugar honey just the same. Is there much of a difference in taste between sugar honey and nectar honey?
