feeding them

[Dookie]

Afternoon

my hive is a bit light, my question is: is it ok to feed them at this time of year and what ratio of sugar water should i feed them.

I was going to do 1:1 but i dont know if thats a good idea

Cheers

baker's fondant would be better, but if it warms up and stays warm you could risk 1:1 syrup

A similar topic is being talked about on another forum section, here it is if its of any help.

It's still a little cold for syrup.
What's around your area ?
Pollen patties could be a option if you are near any osr.
Fondant would be the safest bet as the temperature isn't a problem.
