I just installed a 3lb package of carniolans into my new topbar hive (TBH). I put three frames of cut down comb plus a cut down frame of honey in there from last year's failed hive. Should I feed them?
I'm inclined not right now to because
1) They for sure won't starve with that honey and it should provide them with enough to get comb drawn pretty fast.
2) I didn't build an easy way to feed them when making my TBH. oops.
If the consensus is yes, feed them, then can I put an external feeder somewhere?
