When I got to this bag that syrup had crystallized, closing the opening. Anyway, that hive is now combined with another - I hope they make it!Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-76627805298060449762009-09-18T19:24:07.817-04:002009-09-18T19:24:07.817-04:00Hi From the uk Linda.

I mix my sugar solution in a four litre (one gallon) milk jug. It is to THAT that I add the teaspoon of sea salt and the squirt of lemon, NOT into each litre (quart). That would probably make it too salty.<br />AKs, Vancouver, CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-50350900335406055412009-08-31T01:58:15.526-04:002009-08-31T01:58:15.526-04:00Hi Linda,

I use (and reuse over and over again) a one litre (one quart for you folks) feeder jar set on a couple small strips of wood so the bees can get underneath. Incidentally, I also add a teaspoon of sea salt (for minerals) to my sugar solution as well as a squirt of lemon juice to lower the pH so that it is closer to the pH of honey.<br />Love your photos,<br />AKsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-3576017689551222532009-08-30T09:56:56.659-04:002009-08-30T09:56:56.659-04:00Jennifer Berry (who writes for Bee Culture and run...Jennifer Berry (who writes for Bee Culture and runs the UGA bee lab) uses ziploc baggie feeders and highly recommends them. Boardman feeders encourage robbing and require that the bees leave the hive to get food. My only problem with them is the environmental one of using plastic and then needing to throw it away.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-8467394881046819192009-08-30T05:26:47.100-04:002009-08-30T05:26:47.100-04:00Very interesting but sorry to hear about your stin...Very interesting but sorry to hear about your stings!
