Fed our honeybees today ... temperature was 60 degrees F. The hives are light without much stored honey ... so, today I mixed up some sugar and water in a 1:1 ratio. I put this sugar water in ziplock bags (I made two cuts with a razor blade in the top of each bag) and placed them in the top of each hive with a small 2.5" spacer between the frames and the inner hive cover. Also, I included half a protein patty. It appears the queen has been busy, there were lots of bees in most hives.
Some bees came up to check it out!
