Monday night I checked the hives real quick...found them low on syrup again and so gave each hive a half gallon. There were fewer drowned bees this time around...so it seems the piece of wood I placed has helped some. I would still like to get a small dowel properly sized so that even fewer would die needlessly.
While there, I also checked to see if they had eaten the pollen patties I had placed last week. Both had been completely devoured! I put in another half patty in each hive.
It was later in the evening and the temps were cooler so I did not doing anything else. This Saturday is supposed to be very nice...ought to provide the perfect opportunity to go queen AND egg hunting!
Wish me luck!
