For the beekeeper this mean* more young bees for the early honey flow, but it also mean* heavy consumption of the food stores that were intend ed to winter the colonies. The beekeeper must watch to see that these stores don’t run too low. There should never be less than 15 to 20 pounds of honey in the hive at any one time. If the stores get lower than this, Stephen suggests, the bees should be fed sugar and syrup made'up of two parts ts one part of boiling water. “Brood rearing requires a lot of food,” says the specialist. “It would be quite possible for the bees to starve before the beekeeper became aware of a shortage of food."
