Did my second visit tonight.
I found my queens, but could not find any eggs. Queens have been out of their cage for a week. Is it too soon to be concerned I couldn't find any eggs?
And what do you do with the HTF when you take it off and it's covered with bees on the bottom. If there's still syrup, you can't tilt it. I need two hands to hold it steady. How do I get the bees off the bottom so I can set the feeder down without crushing them?
I appreciate any suggestions.
