Today I finally took off the feeders from Beatrice and Adele hives. They still had some sugar syrup in them but the bees had completely stopped taking the syrup.
I took away the reduced entrance blocks and replaced them with mouseguards except for Connie hive. I need Charles to make some holes so I can attach the new mouseguard with drawing pins. I am not fitting any plastic this year because although I have green woodpeckers locally I had no trouble with them last year so I am just going to monitor carefully.
I checked on Connie hive and bees are busy but the fondant I have put on is still there so they may be taking some of it. I will heft the hives soon and perhaps put some fondant on Adele and Beatrice. There was alot less activity today but it was alot colder.
