Sugar in the honeycombs

in #nature7 years ago

Usually there is honey in the honeycombs but in this case it is sugar. I fed my bees in autumn with sugar after I took out the honey. This is how it looked when they put it in the honeycombs. They put a cover of wax on it and then it is fresh until they can get honey in spring. The beekeeper puts out the rest of the sugar.
