Why do you have to fed bees 1;1 or 1;2 syrup what difference does it make, Nectars collected by bees would have different amounts of water some are diluted by dew others can be affected by humidity or rain.
I gave up on the mixing ratios and just add water sometimes it is a bit syrupy other times a bit runny either ways no problems to the bees taking it down. Who wrote these rules. Is it a bit like the mother and boiling the ham in two pots because she didn't have one large enough to take a full ham.
