Hi All,
Please be gentle with me, this is my first thread. I have done a search and couldn't find anything on the subject.
I fed my bees about 5 days ago with a 2:1 sugar water mixture in a round rapid feeder on top of the crown board. I gave them 1 litre. I checked them just now and all the syrup has gone and the feeder has a lot of dead bees in it. I would estimate about a hundred bees. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
I use energy saving bulbs and don't like them one bit.
thank you
