Sugar syrup shortens the life span of the bees<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is a common habit of most beekeepers to remove all the honey from the hives and then feed with sugar syrup, so they come through the winter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But now the question is to what extent this artificial diet harm the bees?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
We have already shown that the small cell bees have a longer life expectancy<\/a> than the\u00a0artificially enlarged bees.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And only through this longer life span the\u00a0hygienic behavior<\/a>\u00a0is stimulated.<\/p>\n

Now, however, there is a\u00a0scientific study<\/a>\u00a0that says the same what we\u2019ve always proclaimed:<\/p>\n

Artificial feeding shortens the life of bees<\/span>

\nsmaller bees fly into smaller flowers -> health advantage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dee Lusby:
\nBy reducing the size of the cell to back within the natural range spectrum we fit more naturally the natural flora of plants not hybridized by man, which is the majority in Nature and thus increase the diet, making it more balanced for overall colony health. This can be seen in a\u00a0greater range of pollen colors<\/strong>\u00a0brought into and deposited within our colonies. It also makes for\u00a0more range in the collection of nectar<\/strong>\u00a0also for increased health benefits.<\/em><\/p>\n

the feeding<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

this is quite simple – we must only use\u00a0honey, wax, propolis and pollen<\/strong>\u00a0inside of the hive.<\/p>\n

No use of artificial feeds such as sugar, artificial pollen, etc. I believe it is self-explanatory.<\/p>\n

An example with humans: honey is taken up completely directly in the digestive tract, while sugar is processed in the liver.\u00a0If it is processed there, more enzymes and vitamins are consumed.\u00a0In contrast, honey provides the body with large quantities of vitamins, enzymes and other essential substances.\u00a0The same also applies to our bees.<\/p>\n

The bees need a comb full of honey, a comb full of pollen and a comb full of water to breed a comb of bee brood.\u00a0If we now replace the honey with water, we will have sugar bees whose immune systems of course will not be developed nearly as well as those of bees which were fed on honey.<\/p>\n

This shows us that feeding the bees with sugar water leads to stress, which we must reduce in all circumstances in order to reach our goal of a disease-resistant bee.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
