The Freeze - help the bees!

[Conjuay]

Until some nectar producing plants start to flower again -
Put out some sugar/water (1:1 ) on a sponge in a bright spot.
They're pretty desperate right now...

4. I don't know if you can find them there

But humming bird feeders work well for the bees. They are all over our feeders in south TX.

5. That's true, but many people take down the HB feeders for the winter

And I'm getting hundreds crowding in. They are literally covering a six inch plate entirely.
I've used a cup of simple syrup a day since I realized how bad it is, and yes, some of it has evaporated, but right now in my front yard is you can hear the buzzing.
So yeah, we get bees at the hummingbird feeders, but this is insane.
I will have to figure out how to download (upload? ) pictures.
