My new colony of bees has been hived now for 6 weeks, and are continuing to take the syrup I'm feeding them. This past week, a beek placed 10 hives of bees on the horse farm behind my property. I give you this information in preface of my question about entrance reducers.
I still have the entrance reducer on the smallest opening, and it's a tight fit, but for the past few days, the bees are pushing the reducer out to gain more access, and I've been tapping the reducer back in. Is it too early to give them more of an opening, and if so, I assume I should stop feeding them.
