WAY TOO MANY BEES IN FEED!

I was thinking those were your bees, but same principle.

I'd soak a clean sponge in sugar water and lay it on a plate or something similar, then sit it somewhere chickens can't get to it so the bees can get it from the sponge but not drown. Check it every few days so it's not dry or getting fermented. Then just rinse it out and start over.

Thank you for the replies. Would the bees go for that instead of the feed, or both the feed and the sugar water.

Most definitely just the sugar water. They're hungry so the feed apparently was all they could find.

Do the sugar water until you see things blooming, then pull it as your sugar water is an easy source and they need to learn to go find their own.

Sounds like a plan, thank you Debbie!
