i have 2 packages that were installed 6 days ago. one of the two top hive feeders is showing signs of food mold. the other feeder is not.
I use a mixture of 2:1 water to hfcs (corn syrup) for both hives.
What are your thoughts? (pic attached)
mold in the top feeder, overlook or concern? pic attached.

I have had sugar water grow a black mold in the jars. The bees take it fine, then I wash the jars and refill. Never pay the mold any mind. The bees will work around it. They work around a lot worse things than mold.
