Great. I think I can get a good deal on bulk sugar. Can I use the raw sugar that is called turbinado sugar? It is sugar that is not bleached.
Also thanks for the tips on supplements. I will get some with my hives.

I use a 1:1 sugar/water solution for new packages. As far as additives, there are quite a few offered by various bee supply companies. Honey B Healthy is one example. The manufacturers claim that these additives will make your bees healthier, but I've never seen any results from any research that confirms this or refutes it.
