This is an herbal infusion for feeding bees. I will add the mix ratios later but it is to be mixed with good, local honey for feeding bees.

My measurements are in pounds but here I will simply list by parts.

2 Chamomile
1 Nettle
1 Lemon Balm
2 Yarrow
1 Peppermint
1 Sage
1/8 Thyme
1/8 Neem
1 Comfrey
1 Holy Basil/Tulsi
1 Linden leaf and blossom
1/2 Rue
1/2 Elder flower

Use 1 Tbsp to a quart of water. For helping a new hive get started, mix 1:1 with good honey from a trusted (foul brood free) apiary.

For supporting a hive through rough times, use a tea:honey ration of 4:1.
