This blog is here really for me personally to keep track of my hives. If people want to follow along, all the better!

Cold weather
Tonight it's getting down into the low 30s with snow predicted. I put a piece of coroplast in the slot for the sticky board under the screened bottom board. I also was looking at the hole where my syrup jar sits and figured out why the bees aren't drinking it - they can't! The holes on the jar lid are about 1/8" over the screen, and their little bee tongues can't reach the syrup unless it's dripping down. I moved the jar over the open hole with no screen. We'll see if that makes a difference. I figure with the cold rainy weather they'll appreciate the extra food. We'll see.
