BeeMax top hive feeder and general
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2013 2:05 pm
Does anyone have any experience with the BeeMax top hive feeders? I started feeding yesterday and checked this morning. The bees can't get the syrup fast enough. Observation inside the hive yesterday was patchy capped honey around the brood, very little. 2 frames in the super above capped on one side toward center, all others open, 6 total. This is a swarm we captured very early in the spring. This swarm came out of the hollow of a tree in my neighbors backyard. Does this make them feral? They look exactly like the Italians. This tree has been producing swarms spring, summer and fall. We did have a bee keeper in the area that quit keeping 7/8 years ago. Everyone says the bees have been in this tree as long as they can remember. Our queen is doing a great job of producing. It has been a wonderful learning experience to work with these bees. They have been very gentle. Is there anything I can do to provide better for this hive ![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
