Topping up...
As predicted I needed to top up the feeders. Down at the Gardens the bees consumed an entire gallon of sugar syrup in 4 days; I refilled the feeder on Thursday. In Ladue the weak hive there needed more as well, but only a couple of pints or so.
What are your predictions for spring this year? I saw the bees bringing in lots of pollen during yesterday's warm fly day. Do you think nectar will be available soon, or not for another couple of weeks?
