    Feeding the Colony

    We’ve had the bees for almost 4 weeks and they have eaten almost all the food we had given them. Its amazing how often we have to prepare the sugar water solution when feeding the colony. Philip mixed up a new batch of sugar water to fill the feeder. He got a little smoke going…

    An Honored Guest for Dinner
