I am curious about the rate of syruup intake with hives. Firday late day I placed an inverted mason jar for feeders on my hives in another yard. I had to go back in that area Saturday night and one nuc and one hive completely took all the syrup. I did not check the others.
But this morning, I popped the lid on the hives at the house and a couple of them took all the syrup and some of them took about half and some of them took non.
Why? There is not much of a flow on here and if there was, no one would be taking the syrup.
I know it must entail how much brood is being reared and how much comb that is drawn out.
Right?
Any other opinions?
