Hi Ya'll,
As usual not everything may be as it may first seem to be !
And this is another case of the "Educated Experts" of the world not understanding the "Simple" things of the Lord and his Creation !
When mankind becomes too "Greedy" for his own good and --"Steals"-- every last drop of Natural Honey, which has the needed Natural Alkaline Minerals in it, which are Required to keep those who choose to eat it to stay Healthy, from the bee hive from the bees and choose instead to try to --"Force"-- the Bees to Live on --White Sugar--(Poison)-- water, which does "NOT" have "ANY" Natural Alkaline Minerals left in it, thus Causing the "White Sugar" to act as a --"Poison"-- to the Bees, because now this Causes the Bees to not be able to get the "needed" --"Oxygen"-- in their bodys, thus --Causes-- the Bees to "Die" !
How long can "YOU" Live without "Oxygen" ?
So, "WHY" is it so hard to consider that the Little Bees also need "Oxygen" to be able to Live ?
Just use a Little Bit of "Common Sense" and check with the Natural Bee Keepers, who allow their bees to eat of the Natural Honey , which they gather, and do "NOT" feed "White Sugar" to their Bees , these Bee keepers do "NOT" have "ANY" problem with the Honey Bee Colony Collapse disorder, which those who Feed White Sugar water to their Bees have this problem!
As usual, the "Educated Experts" of the world, who consider themself to be Wiser than their own Creator, have Caused the Death of the Honey Bees to take place, because of their Greed for profit !
Did not the Good book warn about the Wise of the world being confounded by the Simpleness of the Lord ?
Surely it could not be this Simple, could it ?
Simple Sugars(White Sugar), without the needed Alkaline Minerals attached to them, may act as a "Poison" to whoever or whatever eats this Simple Sugar(White Sugar) !
Choose Life or Death this Day !

This is a reply to # 885,665I also cannot believe that anyone would buy cheap, supermarket, pasteurized honey. It is a waist of the bee's work! And that honey is made by those dying slave bees fed sugar. Just like cheap clothes made in china by undernourished kids. Just so someone can save money! In the long run we are hurting ourselves though, what goes around comes around.
It's like turning a perfectly good food into poison. Same with milk. They pasteurize it and ruin it's enzymatic value. I don't understand it!
The only reason, to me, is, that the quality is so poor and it otherwise isn't edible. But who would support such a vicious cycle? We consumers are who determine what is produced. So everything we buy is a vote and it matters.
Hey Moreless, I can get all railed up,too (-;

MoreThis is a reply to # 885,712Some (most?)of the cheap honey may be from China. Years ago, people we'd buy honey from who subscribed to a honey publication, said that the honey from China was contaminated from the metal containers it was in. If the label doesn't show origin, you can probably bet it was from China.
In all fairness, the wild bees aren't even showing up in our yard anymore. My Oregano used to be covered with hundreds of them. Not a one in the last few years. Heard it has something to do with the refraction of light -- can't find their way.
Or, Moreless, maybe the 0xygen depletion of our planet plays a role as well.
It is so sad about the sugar feeding. Also, the honey lacks pollen. They are so greedy, they have to put pollen traps on the hives. No one wants to do it God's way.
Reminds me of chickens. Everyone keeps the lights on, so the poor birds think it's laying season. My three hens are old, but still laying, given their proper rest each year.
And, the way they raise chickens for meat is utterly cruel. We have all these societies for the prevention of cruelty, but it goes on everywhere. Why no outrage? $$$$$$$$$$$$
Also, have you ever seen the huge truck-trailer loads of used chickens going to market, dying on the ride, the wind knocking them over in the big cages?
Thy Kingdom Come

Yes, and it Happens to "ANY" Living enity, be it a Human being or an animal !
White Sugar as well as "ANY" Simple Processed sweetner, which has had the Alkaline Minerals Removed from it, is "Poison" to anything which eats it , unless enough Alkaline Minerals are supplied to counter act the Poison effects of "STOPPING" the "Oxygen" !

This is a reply to # 885,947I know they go for the 'sweet' nectar and that those feeders aren't their only source of food. I believe animals are smart enough to know what is good for them to consume and what is not. You could try putting other things in their water, but I guartantee they won't drink it if it's not what they need and want.
Other animals, like chickens and pigs and others, seem to consume just about anything!
In any case, God designed them perfectly and they are born with fully installed and functional software!- Animals DO GET mixed up abt what is ... LD Di

This is a reply to # 886,102Hi,Mamacat,
I regret to tell you that animals can be misled about what is good foer them in just the same way people can.
When exposed to an easy source od less nutritious food, usually from humans, they develop a taste for it...dare we say, an ADDICTION to it???
A few examples are bears, foxes, racoons and human garbage.
Another is seen in pets. Cats and birds especially can become fixated on foods that are far from ideal nutrition, to the point that they refuse healthy food. When I was working with aminal rehabilitation, trying to reducate them re: diet was often a main component. Their emotional and physical health problems rerely resolved if they refused to eat healty. Sound familiar?
Animals DO NOT have some mystic wisdom that protects them from the basic principles of life!
It is our job, assigned by the Creator of all, to assist them in securing what is good for them, not give them things that are harmful!
This is loving sovereignty, just as God himself exercises loving sovereignty.
Seek life and health for the animals as well as for ourselves!

This is a reply to # 886,136i agree animals do mess up too, take antifreeze for example, people use to poison coyotes with this, many other animals would be found also like eagle, vultures foxes and countless others, it was an outrage of course, but it use to happen and hope it does not any more, but animals can choose wrongly as we sometimes do.
- YES! Antifreeze is a good example! LD Di

This is a reply to # 886,152Hi, thall!
I lost my cat to antifreeze years ago when she was in agarage with a car that had a leaking radiator. Even the diluted stuff rom the radiator was DEADLY!!!
Just think...a lot of home mechanics do not dispose oif properly and it enter storm drains, then the ocean!
Good thinking, keep connecting the dots and sharing yr thoughts!

This is a reply to # 885,893Been thinking about this since reading these posts because we have two hummingbird feeders and one oriole feeder, all full of 'sugar water'. What would be a good substitute for the sugar water do you think? Real maple syrup and water? I want to get suggestions and try them out. Also, does the water really have to be made red?

This is a reply to # 886,716Guess we'll just have to experiment and keep it posted, eh?
I tried some raw sugar cane I had yesterday with the water and yes, I added red food coloring. So far, they haven't touched it, but the weather has been a bit stormy too so I'll give it a week or so.
I would imagine you could add raw honey or pure maple syrup or, agave? Trying to think of natural raw sweeteners.- Re: --Answer--Does same thing happen... 23rd psalm

This is a reply to # 886,917I had wondered, too, about honey, but learned it is toxic to hummers.
Here's a quote: Honey is both unnatural and unhealthy for hummingbirds. Honey is made from the nectar of flowers seldom visited by hummingbirds. This nectar is chemically different from that of hummingbird flowers and is further changed by the bees. Honey also contains spores which have caused fatal infections in hummingbirds.
It appears to me that God meant these two creatures to have different domains. The best is to plants lots of flowers/shrubs that hummingbirds like. There are so many.- Re: --Answer--Does same thing happen... GrannyCat

This is a reply to # 886,957I agree. I am in the process of planting flowers, shrubs, etc. for all kinds of birds and butterflies! I didn't try honey either after reading about it. I did put raw sugar cane, but they wouldn't touch that either. The only thing my oriole feeder is drawing is flies! I'm thinking of using it inside my house!! ha.
I did find a page that said you don't have to color the water that if the feeder has some red on it, and I've never seen one without red, that is enough to attract them. So now the water is just clear. But they aren't touching it with the raw sugar cane either. I suppose it's back to ole white sugar unless I can come up something else!

This is a reply to # 885,665Hi Ya'll,
There has been some ideas that animals can choose right from wrong and thus this protects them from eating anything not Healthy for them !
Clarification may be in order ?
In Nature, where mankind has "NOT" altered the food supply, these ideas may fit in properly and may be mostly Correct ?
Because in Nature "ALL" Sugars are bound with Alkaline Minerals, which are required to keep the animal or Human Healthy , which chooses to eat this Natural Sugar !
Thus the Higher the Natural Sugars = the Higher the Alkaline Minerals content of the food !
And this can be Proven by the use of the Refractometer !
Honey Bees have the ability to Seek out sources of Sweetness in plants to make Honey with, but their Senses are not able to tell the Difference between Natural Sugars which contain the needed Alkaline Minerals from a Man made White Sugar(Poison), which has the Alkaline Minerals Removed from this kind of Sweetner !
But, if this White Sugar(Poison) is Diluted in water enough, so that it's sweetness is very Dilute, to the point of being Less than what is in the available Natural Flowers and their Natural Sweetness, then the Honey Bees are able to tell this Difference and may choose the Natural Sweetness every time !
But, if the White Sugar(Poison) water is made strong enough, so as to have a higher Index of sweetness than what the Flowers of the Local plants may have, this then may confuse the Honey Bees into eating the White Sugar (Poison) !!!!!!!
As usual not everything may be as it may first seem to be !
Choose Life or Death this Day !
