The brown hive's cluster was smaller than that of the green hive, but based on what I've seen in the past, the size is consistent.
Still too cold for the bees to do any flying, and it's supposed to snow tonight/tomorrow and be cold the rest of the week. While I was checking, I slipped in 1/2 of a Global Pollen patty, just to give them something besides sugar to munch on.
I suppose next week I'm going to have to add more sugar to the hive...
Stay warm everyone!!
Great stuff Steven, hope the weather warms up soon for you are your girls in the hives.
ReplyDeleteWeather very hot and sticky down in New Zealand, so Bees are very busy.
See ya...Gary
