Now, let’s gather our sweet supplies! You’ll need:

  • 2 cups of granulated sugar (not the fancy stuff, just plain ol’ sugar)
  • 1 cup of water (tap water is just fine—no Evian needed!)
  • A pinch of patience (just kidding, that’s optional!)

Instructions

Time to get cooking (or, should we say, mixing)! Here’s how to whip up this bee-tastic concoction:

  1. In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar and water together. Make sure to measure it out carefully; we don’t want to upset the sugar gods!
  2. Put the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently as the sugar dissolves. You’ll know it’s ready when it looks like a clear, thick pool of sweetness!
  3. Once everything is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool down to room temperature. You don’t want to give your bees a hot surprise!
  4. Pour the cooled syrup into your bee feeder. It’s just like filling up the tank for your car, but, you know, way sweeter!
  5. Place the feeder back where your bees can find it. Sit back and watch as they glide in for their sugar fix!

And there you have it, a simple, easy, and totally buzz-worthy sugar syrup recipe for your bees. They’ll be thanking you in no time, and you just might earn the title of “Best Bee Keeper” in the neighborhood! Happy bee-feeding!
