My dad fed bees sugar syrup, and I did the same for my first few years of beekeeping. Now, with the new science on how that can harm bees and humans, I'm not sure. Perhaps it's time to stop this practice.

Should We Stop Feeding Surgar Syrup?

Hobby Beekeeping is a podcast about learning from bees.
Hosted by retired psychologist and beekeeper Hank Svec, each episode explores practical beekeeping, hive entrance observations, bee research, and the questions that arise from simply spending time with bees.
Rather than focusing only on techniques, the podcast looks at what bees may be teaching us through careful observation. Topics include the Three-Hive Method, hive survival, swarming, AI-assisted entrance monitoring, equipment, research, and conversations with beekeepers from beginners to experienced professionals.
 
If we watch the bees long enough without touching them, they tell us something.
