Yesterday Steve went to the hives with Liz. The weather was sunshine and showers.
Hannah was back on duty today. By the time we got there at 7pm it was a bit cooler after a warm day with showers. The sun was still out but the hives were in shade and there wasn't much activity outside. As over the last few days, feeder 1 was nearly empty and 2 just needed topping up. We saw three bees that drowned in feeder 2. However there was plenty of straw in it and we watched a bee lose her footing and then get out again using the straw. In hive 1 we had to draw back the follower board to see the level in the feeder and few bees wanted to pop out of the top. They all seem to be in a cluster towards the other end.
Hannah made up another 2kg batch of syrup this evening too.
