So, I extracted a few deep frames over the weekend to help alleviate back filling issues with a couple of my hives (only 4 frames). I put the extractor and other equipment out for the girls to clean up and they aren't even remotely interested. I have talked to a couple other beeks and they are seeing the same thing.
My initial guess is that because the flow is still pretty good in my area and that they would rather have the nectar.
Last year when I would leave the equipment out they would be all over it in an hour, but that was much later in the season.
Thoughts?
