I will begin again to put updates here as we begin to work our way through another season of keeping bees. Below you will find a recipe passed along to me from Randy for small batch fondant. Fondant is candy like food source to help get the bees going early.

Small Batch Fondant
2 Cups Sugar
11/2 Cups Water
2 TBS. White corn syrup
1/8 tsp. Cream of Tartar
Boil to around 240F.
Cool to 180F.
