Cane or Beet Sugar

The Apprentices · Aug 10, 2011

I have read various publications and been given a few personal ideas as what kind of sugar can/should be used for feeding, can anyone else throw further light as to which type of sugar they prefer and why.

There's been a few threads on this before and the consensus has been that cane or beet doesn't make any difference

My local association champions white cane sugar never a mention of beet

At least using beet supports our home growers.

The same as cold way/warm way (before that kite gets flown again) it makes utterly no odds at all.

Further a minutes research using the search function would reveal this:

Use beet sugar - no problems - last time I put some on they were in the feeder within seconds and they took it down in no time. In my opinion once it's refined it's all the same
