Running on the Spot Oct 2020 10:49am, 11 Oct 2020 339 posts	0 Running on the Spot Wow W that's a lot of sugar, how many hives have you got? Out of curiosity, have you ever tried not feeding them?
Strutbrother Oct 2020 10:52am, 11 Oct 2020 565 posts	0 Strutbrother Just the one hive, on year three.
Winniefree Oct 2020 11:31am, 11 Oct 2020 1785 posts	0 Winniefree We've got six hives at the moment. We try only to when it's necessary i.e. when there is a risk of starvation without.
xt350 🇳🇿 Oct 2020 11:59am, 11 Oct 2020 1474 posts	0 xt350 🇳🇿 Hello Cheekys dad and welcome I have had my hives come through the winter here as strong as anything, the only thing i have dome different this winter was to leave a super on and in July (January in the northern hemisphere) i put some sugar syrup in, and it seem to have worked a treat. One hive was bursting at the seams and have split it 3 ways so hope we have a bumper season.
Trin Oct 2020 4:10pm, 11 Oct 2020 2704 posts	0 Trin Here in Andalucia the equivalent of the UK Winter is our Summer because it's too hot for most plants to flower. But we never feed our bees. We plant as much as we can for them and they have to work really hard to find what they need to keep them going, which they do. We very rarely lose a hive in the summer, and our honey isn't overly sweet either, which a lot of people here like.
