New bee keeper here with some questions.
Bees(3 pounds)have been in the hive for two weeks now. I feed them with a megabee Patti and a 2:1 sugar water. They seem to be taking the sugar water less and the megabee Patti is almost gone. I've had the same quart jar(boardman feeder)on now for four days with about half gone. Is it ok to stop feeding? All but one frame have been worked. Five of the center frame are drawn out real nice.
Also would it be ok to put the second hive body on and install a vertical slated rack? My area is Pennsylvania.
