Well i refilled the ol feedbag the bees as well today. Now i'm comfortable enuf to just wear my veil while i work them. As i was feeding them i noticed that the Middle hive had some stray comb built. so i poped the top for a peek and wow there going all out and have 5+ frames drawn already ! So i took the time to clear the stray comb so it wouldn't interfere with the nice foundation there working on. I dint mess with the other hives i want to wait till Saturday to get a good look at whats going on in there. Friends of ours want bees so if i have to do a split later in the year they might want a hive as well !
I stopped feeding with baggies on Walter's hive. They just weren't taking as much. Now that i switch to inverted jars. There taking a whole lot more in. So im not going to use baggie any more.
1 there a waste cant re use them
2 you have to open the hive completely to re fill
3 The bees don't take in as much that way.
I started a new job this week as a carpenter for a local pest management place. So if there are any swarms that get called in i'm the first to know !! Mabey that will mean more bees...... Well see
