I captured a swarm into a nuc last week, and put some sugar syrup in for them. They've woofed it all down and the frames are still thin in terms of stores. With this unpredictable weather I think they're consuming as fast as they're bringing it in, so I'm going to give them some more.
But should I give them a weak spring solution (2lbs per 2 pints) or a thicker autumn style solution (2lbs per 1 pint) as they probably could do with the food? Or somewhere in between?
