Just wanted to say my new packages of bees are doing text book. Its been two weeks and I have 5 good frames of capped brood and eggs going on, I finally saw the larvae, lots of them, swimming in a pool of liquid food. Its remarkable how they do there job, just like the book says, brood in the middle and at the top honey , I am thrilled.
The second hive a little slower but in the same condition only just 4 frames capped same scenario, I did notice one odd thing, the liquid in the one looks like it has a fine dust of charcoal. I think its getting it from the sugar mix, I used a pot I used for making Almond leaf tea. It has a stain from the leaves that a little is coming off of(I think). Do you think this could hurt them, I use the tea for my tropical fish. Or could it be something else, everyone seems happy otherwise.
