Wallace Family Apiary Feeding Station- OPEN FEEDING
Cover via Amazon
Today I am feeding the colonies again. A thin sugar syrup for population increase, just before the cold weather arrives.. The only difference in my feeding scheme today is this time I’m using open feeding…that is feeding the bees far from the colonies. It’s easy to set up and you can replenish the pails as needed without having to open a single colony, and not many bees drawn. Another advantage is just like feeding inside the colony, open feeding, from at 75 to 100 yards away, makes robbing a non issue. I’ve got some videos and still photos of how I did my open feeding , and upon investigating the colonies, no robbing behavior was observed. Enjoy the videos and photos. Happy Beekeeping!

More on the beekeeping blog: This beekeeping Blog, is an enjoyment for me and my family….from time to time, different family members will contribute to this blog. When I started writing this it, I wanted to share how I got into beekeeping, a chronological detail of how I arrived where I am today, and what I hope to accomplish as a beekeeper (actually I hope to one day be a commercial beekeeper….full time beekeeping). In between my chronological account, I also give current updates of what’s going on in my day-to-day beekeeping chores/management. I want to let you, the reader, know that I have horrible grammatical skills, so please forgive my grammatical errors. So, that is us in a nut shell and this is our diary of sorts, of us as a beekeeping family.
