'Creative sourcing' is good for the environment anyway
Feed run this morning found my wards have all consumed around 25% more this week gone despite the warmer weather over the weekend.
Something's brewing
Not only more fondant has been scoffed but also they're tucking into the outer frame stores which is, in a way, reassuring because I was concerned about denying brood space by overfeeding.
I was giving them a 2"x2"x3/8" square of candipoline and the same of my own sugar cake on the frametops each week, which was just about lasting through, but I went there today, two days early, and it was all gone in every hive.
Also observed three workers through the perspex doing waggledance.
This was on the least-active hive which is again good news (and mesmerising to watch
)
