Feeding in the rain

Hannah and Liz visited this evening.  It was dry this morning but rain/drizzle all afternoon. 

Hive 1 had completely emptied their syrup feeder.  We didn't check the pollen patty.

Hive 2 had only used about a quarter but we topped it up.  There were a few bees on the pollen patty but we couldn't see whether they had taken any.  As we replaced the lid, we dislodged top bars, disturbing the bees.  Steve has a technique for closing this hive and Gil managed it straight away yesterday.
