Still loads on the crown board though and too many I thought to put on a contact feeder.
This was how it looks the next day when I popped up to put on a super to try and give these bees some more room. A lot more bees had gone down into the hive.
With my usual lack of timing I opened the hive just as it decided to hail - so slapped the super on and shut the hive up sharpish.
I will try and feed them this evening hopefully the eke will be cleared of bees by then. In fact the sun came out this afternoon and bees were everywhere feeding from the water in the garden and charging out from the hives in huge numbers.
