most commercial keepers here in NZ spring feed sugar syrup and pollen patties
the idea is to stimulate hive growth by mimicking spring ...
what strength syrup do you feed ? some here just carry on with winter strength
2 sugar / 1 water others go 1 to 1 ....I think 1:1 mimics nectar flow best, as i'm pretty sure even the best nectar has a sugar content of around 40%
