Hi folks, i have put 1kg sugar and 600ml water mix into my feeder a week ago and it has over half left,can you tell me if this is an acceptable rate of feeding or should i change the type of feeder.thanks:(
 
Something not right there. Is there room for your bees to store syrup? Has something drastic gone wrong with your colony and is it in terminal decline?
