I want to become a beekeeper! - Issue #12 - Honey and sugar.
As a rule, lovers of carbonated drinks most often receive a warning that sugar is harmful, this is even written on the labels of soda lol, but talk about the benefits of sugar and its harm is very hotly discussed among beekeepers, who periodically feed bees with sugar syrup, or sugar in the form of chewing gum called candy.
Just as they often talk about the harm of sugar, they also often talk about the benefits of honey, but for bees everything is not the same as for people.
Sometimes honey can cause more harm to bees than sugar, since sugar syrup does not ferment for a long time, and a honey solution can ferment very quickly and this will lead to a food disorder in bees, and this is especially bad, especially for a wintering bee, whose diarrhea remains in the hive.
But even here, everything is not so simple, the ideal drink for bees is fermented honey syrup, but you need to be able to stop the fermentation reaction at the right moment for the beekeeper.
It is clear that bees process sugar syrup and add it to the soybeans, turning it into honey and this sometimes irritates people who believe that honey should only be obtained by processing flower nectar, but there will be very little of this sugar honey in the hive and, as a rule, by the time of honey collection there is no more left in the hive.
