It worked. Now I can start showing pics again. I use my iPad more for reading stuff like this than my computer.
Above is the fondant lids I made. Used about 100 lbs of cane sugar for about 15 lids. There is bee pro pollen patties too. Bees love this stuff. Feeding to hold off starvation for some, others to boost for almonds.

Need to make a correction. Recently made another batch, 14 lids and used one 50 pound bag of suger (plus a few pounds of leftover from previous bag). So lids have about 50/14 pounds per lid of feed (not including pollen patty). Works out to about 4 pounds per lid. Of course, increase rim size and can add a lot more per lid.

Nice Plan, Todd! Looks like about $1:50 per hive?

Bags of sugar are from Cash and Carry. $18 and change for 50lb bag.
Factor in pollen patty, propane, etc then $1.50.
I work for free.
