I am feeding one of my hives at the moment as it is small and struggling.
I am doing a mixture of 1:1 sugar and water, with just hot water and sugar and stirring and letting it dissolve.
The problem is the feeder is getting mould in it, is this bad for the bees, and is it because I am not boiling the solution?
Also I am going to do an Api guard treatment, is it OK to feed and do the treatment at the same time, or is it best do do separately
Regards
