Usually old honey you can feed without diluting, I leave it out, when time
comes, early spring or later in fall when nectar source stops,
bees will take it, perhaps you have some really hard honey,
heating up in a oven or steam might help. I have tried one's with diluting, for some
reason bees didn't want to touch it.

Yes, yes, yes, do use honey for feeding. 1:1 is good BUT NOT PASTURISED Honey! It kills the bees :(

Not a scientist but this is information picked up elsewher online. JL

I would not feed my bees honey because honey is a lot more expensive than sugar also do worry about getting organic sugar just get the pure cane sugar but you can feed bees honey. Happy Beekeeping! -Alex
