Feed bag

Temperature: 14C
Weather: Light wind, chilly but no cloud
Stings: None

Another quick visit to finishing sorting out the bees for winter. I took off the brood box which was empty of bees thanks to the Porter bee escapes. I put the wet combs in its place over the crown board with the bee escapes on. So the bees will slowly come out of that and into the chamber below where I put an empty super and the feeder. I'll go back at the weekend to take out the wet combs and then they will be all snug for the winter. I'll give them a good deal more food but they are pretty much ready to go.
