So i have been looking into what I want to do with my bees this winter, and after looking at the projections (another brutally cold winter), I will definitely be providing a supplement for the gals this winter. I know this has been discussed before (what you put out) and have had answers from pure sugar to fondant to candy boards. My question is this. Is one easier on the bees than the other? With fondant being a bit more pliable and the candy hard, one would think there are differences, but haven't found any info on this yet. and for those who just put pure sugar on, what do you put it on / in? As of right now, I am leaning towards candy as it seems to be the easier of the fondant / candy options. I am still unsure as to the pure sugar method?
Thanks.
