Homebrew Bee Healthy Recipe
This recipe makes a concentrate that is then added to a larger batch of plain sugar syrup for feeding bees.
Ingredients:
• 5 cups water
• 2 ½ pounds (about 5 cups) granulated white sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon soy or sunflower lecithin granules (emulsifier)
• 15 drops spearmint essential oil
• 15 drops lemongrass essential oil
• 15 drops tea tree oil (optional)
• 15 drops Lavender (optional
Instructions:
1. Heat the water until it is almost boiling, then remove from the heat.
2. Dissolve the sugar in the hot water, stirring until completely integrated.
3. Add the lecithin granules and essential oils to the warm mixture.
4. Blend the mixture thoroughly for several minutes (about 4 minutes) in a blender to ensure the oils are well-emulsified throughout the solution. The mixture will have a milky appearance.
5. Cool the concentrate completely before storing or using.
Usage Notes:
• Storage: Store the concentrate in a sealed container, preferably not plastic, as the essential oils can permeate it.
• Feeding: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of the concentrate per quart of 1:1 or 2:1 sugar syrup when feeding your bees.
• Brood Rearing: Use 1 teaspoon per quart to stimulate general feeding and brood rearing.
• Improved Health: Use 2 teaspoons per quart to help improve colony health or during periods of stress or disease.
