Question.................
I placed my bees in TBH last Wednesday and the queen is out. My only concern is they seem to not be not feeding on much of the 1-1. My first 1-1 batch I added oils so yesterday I made another 1-1 no oils as I have two jars inside, I replaced one. I even put some in a dish on top of the hive... From what I read I should have seen an amount gone by this time. They are hanging around the hive when its warm out. Yesterday when I checked the queen cage, they were all clustered together at the front. I had one heck of a time getting the bars back in since the queen cage was at the front bottom. It was cool seeing how they were all holding on to each other as I tried to separate some of the bars to get an opening large enough for my hand in to retrieve the queen cage.
