Yep, and lots of it, too!
Have you been stung yet?
Few times. Mostly on hand. I don’t like wearing gloves. And normally I wear shorts.

Been doing some feeding before it gets to late. That’s 16 cups sugar and 8 cups water. I get some looks but no one had asked me yet what I’m doing with 25 pound bags of sugar :lol:

That's a rich mixture. I think my wife dilutes the sugar for the hummingbirds alot more than that. We see bees and wasps at those feeders often. I see quite a few honey bees around our small flower garden. Lately they have only the perennial white "Shasta" daises and a few trumpet honeysuckle vines to feed on.

Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

It’s thick for sure. That’s just for fall feeding. During spring or summer most feed 1 to 1. Which is more like nectar.

They stay pretty busy. Doing a little open feeding before winter. They took over 3 gallons yesterday :shock:
