I brought a flashlight out to the hive just now while adding more sugar syrup to the feeder -- I was hoping it would help deal with the glare through the observation window. This isn't a great picture, I know, but from what I could see the bees have begun 3-4 combs, all looking pretty parallel. What I didn't see was anything at all inside the hexagons. Is this normal? To have 3 good sized pieces of comb (+ a smaller one) but no apparent occupants? Or is it just not at the edge?
Also, I noticed that the wonderful smell is gone -- it's warmed up so much and I wasn't as regular about feeding this last week (filled two times instead of every day). Should I take this as a sign that they're hungry?
Thank you!
