Nectar Dearth

Bees can only perform wax repairs or build new comb when they have adequate amounts of incoming nectar or are being fed 1:1 (light) sugar syrup. 

When using CombForms™ to promote comb production or wax repairs the bees must have plenty of food as a raw material. This means that in times of nectar dearth - it is necessary to feed your bees in order for them to produce wax. Many areas no longer have adequate bee forage due to habitat destruction or drought. Don't let your bees starve - feed them if they need it.
