Bees between the frames after being smoked. This is in the top box on South Hive 1.
I had the new top feeder on Hive 1 with a gallon of syrup in it and lemongrass oil. I suspected robbing so I made a new entrance reducer to limit the entrance area they had to defend.
I crushed and strained one frame of honey from the North hive. I stuck the wax in this jar and gave it to the bees to clean. They very efficiently took all the honey and left the wax.
This is why I added the entrance reducer to Hive 1. I don't think those are this hive's bees. They are clustered around the vent holes, where they are smelling sugar syrup and lemongrass oil.
