Attack of the 50 Foot Bug

Busy Bees April 15, 2010

The girls were really busy late this afternoon. I’m going to go into the hive this weekend to make sure that there aren’t any queen cells being built. I really don’t want to have a swarm, if I can help it. They have not touched the sugar water that I have provided. Spring is in full bloom and flowers are apparently much more enticing. I find it really interesting that they will take sugar water only when nothing else is available. I’m going to give it a few more days and remove the feeder if nothing changes.
