Hi, Today is gonna be my first (4 days) hive inspection since i installed my bee package Saturday! Since saturday the weather hasnt been the greatest here in Ky, today will be a nice day for change! Im gonna be looking for the release of the queen, checking for any eggs, filling all the feed bottles and removing the front feeder since all it does is draws ants. The only thing is that i took notice that they enjoy sugar water more so then the syrup that im feeding from the top! So my questions are what "ALL" should i be look for on my first inspection???? and is that a good idea to remove the front feeder or should i leave it since they enjoy the sugar water over the syrup thats being feed at the top?????? Thank you for all your helpful ideas!!!
P.S.-I have bought acouple Beekeeping Books but i have not received them in the mail yet so this is why im asking if there is anything else that i should be looking for that i dont know about. Hopefully my books will get here soon! What books did i purchase? (Backyard Beekeeping & Beekeeping For Dummies Edition 2) Thanks Again!
