Feeding the Bees

Well I added a spoonful of corn syrup to the 1 to 1 ratio mix of sugar to water and now the bees are draining the quart jar every day and a half instead of every 5 days. Seems they love the new taste. I dressed my oldest son Ian in the bee suit yesterday and let him change out the feeder. He was a little nervous and told me he didn't want to get stung. However once the bees started bouncing off the veil and he realized they could not get to him at all he thought it was fun to examine the hive up close.
