I'm certainly not against feeding when it's needed.  Bees with food live longer than bees without food by quite a bit.  This study is just comparing honey to sugar syrup, not honey compared to nothing.  I've bought a lot of sugar in my life to feed to bees.  I actually don't use sugar otherwise.
Honey makes you live longer too, Michael?  :grin:  Wouldn't surprise me!  :cool:
I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.

In Ians' location, he overwinters bees indoors. Not practical for everyone but an interesting prospective just the same.
