[QUOTE="Hogfarmer10, post: 1766968, member: 41451"] Dad has kept bees since 1971, usually close to 100 hives, and now my wife does it for him (he’s in terrible health). Ironically, I’m highly allergic to them. Great place to grow up, right? Boiling it makes I a syrup. That’s how we’ve always done it. It flows through pinholes in quart jar lids. Also, the syrup can be stored in old gallon milk jugs just fine. Basically all I was suggesting was to provide them an easier solution for something to eat. But the ideas about early and late feeding were also very good. I would like to think you should definitely be able to reduce your problem, especially if it’s only a short time that you will be finishing your calves. One other thought, if there is a tractor supply or similar store near you, if they have any beekeeping supplies, they should have what is called a pollen patty, or a protein patty for bees. They’re very reasonable and all you’ll have to do is open it and set it out for them. [/QUOTE]
