Super store

Temperature: 16C
Weather: Sunny intervals

Just a quick visit again. I'll aim to do a more thorough inspection later this week. I just put on a super full of drawn comb to give them more room. I'm in two minds about doing this as it might mean they don't draw the comb in the brood frames and leave them short of space for a while. However, I also hope that it means they put the nectar they are collecting upstairs and clear room downstairs for brood.
I also topped up the sugar syrup as they had almost emptied that in four days. Pretty good going. That fills me with hope as it means they are busy and keen to use it. Fingers crossed.
