NBU Starvation alert

[snelgrove]

Checked some of my colonies today and stores are scarce where supers have been removed.
My full nucs are ok for food. Couple of min nucs starved out. The advice , should be heeded.

Thus time of year with load of mininucs and 3F nucs on the go I alway carry around a spray bottle with sugar water to revive those that have become comatose from near starvation. Caught one a couple of weeks ago and managed to save 80% by first a spray then fondant.

That's a good tip that will stick in the grey matter.
