GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Re: What did you do in your Apiary/Bee yard today?
« Last post by Terri Yaki on Today at 04:57:41 pm »I added a second jar of syrup and put more holes of a smaller size in the lid and so far, all is working out. I placed some 1/2" slats in there to set the jars on and put the jars off each end of the hole in the inner cover. I can see hordes of bees crawling around through the hole in the inner cover. My hive boxes all have a port on the side that I can take off and look inside and the brood box is not seeing any activity on the outside of the outer frame. I won't go into the hive for another week but is there a time frame when I should expect to see some activity on that outer frame? It was cooler today and the foragers didn't go out until after noon. I'm also seeing a few ants crawling around. Not a lot, just a few, is this a sign of an pending invasion?
It's not because they keep turning career criminals loose on the streets.
