Hi,
I checked the hives today. Last Wed. I put on another bucket of sugar syrup (1 gallon) on each hive. The hive with the lower population of bees (the 3 lb. package) had the bucjet empty. The hive with the larger amount of bees (the 4 lb. package) still had about 1/4 of its contents left. I would expect the hive with the most bees to empty their feed first. Just wondering if this is normal, if they are feeding on something else, or if they are just being themselves by making another human scratch his head. Both hives have a lot of pollen.
Thanks,
Mike
