Can dry sugar be fed to bees?

Not recommended. It is suggested that sugar should be boiled into syrup and fed to bees after cooling, which is beneficial to bee absorption and can alleviate the phenomenon of honey shortage in time.

It's really a last resort to feed bees with dry sugar. Feeding dry sugar directly will slow down the absorption of bees and hurt them. It takes a long time for bees to eat granular sugar. Dry sugar has not been sterilized at high temperature, which is easy to infect bees with germs and cause lesions. Therefore, this feeding method is not recommended.

Add water to white sugar, boil it into syrup according to a certain proportion, cool it and feed it to bees.

Under different climatic conditions, we should adopt corresponding feeding methods. When the weather is fine, we can open the box and feed sugar water in it. In the case that it is not suitable for unpacking in continuous rainy season or winter, we need to use a nest door feeder, one of which is inserted, so as to avoid the adverse effects of unpacking on bees.
