I was REALLY hoping you would reference the study done by Randy Oliver at Scientific Beekeeping where he actually compared the results of sugar from 2:1 vs 1:1. His results showed that the concentration DID NOT MATTER. The only thing that mattered was the total amount of sugar that was given. As far as getting the sugar to dissolve - the water comes out of my tap at 140 degrees (most people's tap is 120). At 140, I have no problem getting 2:1 concentration (and probably even a little higher) of sugar to dissolve. And since I mix my feed 15 gallons at a time, having it not spoil is a big deal to me...
when you do, PLEASE talk about regional differences. For example, here in east Texas, we have natural pollen available pretty much 12 months out of the year. So for us, feeding supplemental pollen is not necessary (especially for hobbyists).

Awesome vids. Thanks
Dr Ellis, what are your thoughts on "Fat Bees - Skinny Bees byDoug Somerville"?

Excellent video, thank you. Don't forget to REMOVE that queen excluder before Winter.

Great video! Can you do a video on feeding pollen too?
Coming right up!
