Bee Food
I get the great joy of making 5 gallons of bee food today. Yes...bee food. The season has been poor for flowering plants and the bees that my boss raises are starving. So, I get to make food for them. It is very much like hummingbird food. Two parts sugar to one part water, heat until dissolved, cool, and serve. It is kind of fun for me. I enjoy helping the litter critters.
Want to guess how much sugar it takes to fill the 5 gallon bucket with the bee food? Tune in next time for the answer.

2 parts sugar to 1 part water? Yipe!
I'm gonna guess 30 pounds of sugar to make 5 gallons.

This puzzle has intrigued me, so I asked a few coworkers.
Al guesses 75 pounds for 5 gallons.
Dianne says try "Ask.com".
Alice says ask Bob.
Bob's busy on the phone.
