Candy Boards and A New Year...

Well it's a New Year and I am approaching it with great caution and respect. Today, Rob the young man I am mentoring for his Senior Project as well as his Grandfather, who is an aspiring Beekeeper set out to make Candy Boards to feed the bees. We started with a proven recipe...

we poured the sugar into the boiling water and went to work making them as they learned how important it is to feed the bees through the winter...

I had many more pictures but Blogger did not want to upload them tonight. So we prepared the Candy Boards and installed them. I went up later, low and behold the bees went to eating the Candy, Honey B Healthy and Pollen Patties. So this is their time to rest, eat and await Spring to thrive once again.
