Summary "Soft Candy for Bees" by Burton N. Gates is a beekeeping guide written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a technical publication focused on the creation and benefits of a specialized feeding method for bees using soft candy, particularly known as “Fuller candy.” The intended audience is likely to be beekeepers looking for effective feeding solutions for their colonies, highlighting a more practical approach to bee nourishment in light of the risks associated with feeding honey. In the content of the book, Gates outlines the ingredients and methods for making soft candy, describing its advantages as a feeding source for bees, especially during transportation or in winter months. The book details the composition of the candy, the procedure for its preparation, and its effectiveness in encouraging bee colonies to consume it over natural stores. Notable points include the controlled hardness of the candy based on boiling temperature, its ability to prevent bee disease transmission, and its ease of storage and handling. Overall, "Soft Candy for Bees" is a valuable resource for beekeepers seeking alternative feeding options to enhance the health and productivity of their bee colonies.
