Congrats!

I would have gone with a 1 to 1 ration maybe even a 2 to 1 on the feeder, since they have to draw out some frames tho. I put a 2 to 1 with the swarm I caught last week and they drained it (1 gal) in just over 1 day.
But still Congrats again, now go get your $ back from that tool selling nucs!

i have just started to make my hive and cant afford toany nuc's this year so hope to catch a swarm (if im not to late) or try and rais my own queen if someone local has a few frames i can borrow.

sorry, I guess I put the ratio backwards. It is a 2:1 sugar:water...
