We can clearly see that you love your bees. I no longer feed the bees with dry sugar in the winter because it doesn't always help. I make honey sugar candy and put it on top of the bee frames in late fall. and then once a month I check it in any weather. If there is not enough candy left, I add another cake. This is how I prepare it th-cam.com/video/r5ZS1Z-483k/w-d-xo.html
I just found this comment! Sorry I'm slow. Thank you for the advice. This Winter's bees seem to be doing well, but I'll make some of your recipe anyway. A little extra food never hurts!
Sad to say, we lost our bees this Summer. I'm not sure what happened. They were doing great, lots of honey, plenty of brood.....then they all just died. I don't know if they got some strange disease, chemical bug spray, or what. The neighboring bee keeper lost several of his the same way, while others were fine. I think we will get more, but might wait a year or so to see if something weird is going on.
Just warm enough to dry it. You don't want to cook or melt the sugar. Use as little water as possible. We had a gas stove and the pilot light was warm enough that we just set it on top of the stove. A food dehydrator would be perfect.
@@MuskratOutdoors Thanks a lot! I will definitely try this. Here in Serbia, they make sugar cakes on a delicate way, they put just anything, like garlic, cayenne pepper, and many different ingredients. So I find this far more practical and simpler. :-)
So even in Idaho everything runs on good mans will power!😉
Pretty much......

Hello. I have a question. What temperature my stove needs to be and how much time should sugar cake dry in stove? Thanks a lot! :)

I feed bees with honey and dry sugar cake
They say if it is honey from outside your area (not your own bees) that can introduce diseases into your hive. If it's working though, use it!
Neat video! I've personally never tried to do anything with bees, except burn their nests when they sting me.
HA! Me too until we got our own!
@@jimcanuck9396 you are the moron ... piss off
"burn there nest" are you sure your talking about bees.
@@RussellHoughton hives* however local wasp nests are equally an issue
