Artificial food for weaker hives of honey bees

Beekeeping: Make a solution of 50% sugar and 50% jaggery as artificial feed for the weak hives of honey bees. Protect against wasp rings and be aware of fowl brood disease. Keep grass and weeds under control around the apiary by increasing the temperature, removing the packing, adding additional frames from time to time so that honey bees can grow, and protecting the colonies from rain by reducing the entry of water in the boxes.
