Lunchtime bee check!

Cloudy and 62 degrees.

I stopped over to Essie's at lunch today and checked the bees. The sugar syrup on the hive installed yesterday is down about one pint. Tomorrow I will bring a half gallon jar in to have her swap out over the weekend once they get low on syrup. The bees were flying strong.

The swarm trap I put on one of her trees had scout activity. I counted about 10 bees that entered the box in five minutes. It would be really awesome if the bee tree in the back swarmed to this box. I couldn't really tell where the bees were coming from.

A couple cell phone pictures:
