Sugar Syrup Calculator

How to Use

1. Select syrup ratio: 1:1 for spring stimulation or 2:1 for building fall/winter stores.
2. Enter the number of hives you need to feed.
3. Set servings per hive (1 = single feed, 2+ = multiple feeders or refills).
4. Set volume per serving and unit (gallons, liters, or quarts).
5. Click Calculate Syrup Recipe to get exact ingredient amounts and mixing instructions.

Never feed syrup when honey supers are on — bees will store syrup instead of nectar, contaminating your honey crop. Use division board or top feeders to prevent robbing. In cold weather, use fondant or dry sugar instead of liquid syrup.
