Pet project
Pollen seems to be available throughout the year here, but during our short winter season there is a dearth in the nectar flow. For the last several years I've been working on a project to provide a nectar substitute with the least amount of work for the beekeeper. This is one of the prototypes. A pet gravity water station modified to to feed the bees while preventing them from drowning. With this version the bees can transport two and a half gallons of sugar water back to their hives in about two hours.
