I wanted to share a couple of great recipes for Bees.


*Sugar Water – Organic Sugar – 50/50 or 60/40 Sugar to Water ratio*


*Mite Flush/Gut Health*

1 qt mason jar
¼ c Honey
Use natural organic essential oils
1 tsp Wintergreen Essential Oil
1 tsp Spearmint Essential Oil
1 tsp Tea Tree Essential Oil
9 drops Lemongrass Essential Oil

Mix all ingredients in Mason Jar.  Fill jar to ¾ full with clean Spring
water.  Set in pantry for 3 days to combine/cure.  Add 1 c per 5 gal bucket
of Sugar Water.


*Pollen Substitute – All Winter Pollen Substitute – Best to feed outside,
and away from, hive*

15 pouches of yeast – occurs naturally and bees need.
5 lb Organic Corn Meal
5 lb Organic Non Bleached Flour
2-3 lb box Dry Milk
Powdered Vitamin C – Ascorbic Acid – 2 lbs-$7

Enjoy!
