May 5-9
Checked the bees most nights this week, one morning. When I could, I cruised by in the morning to see if they were flying. If I’m stopped at a red light near the restaurant, I can look up and see them taking off and landing.
They ate pretty well this week, sometimes close to a quart a day of sugar water a day. One evening it was warm enough that a few were hanging out on the bottom board on South, so I took out the entrance reducers until the next day, when it was colder.
A couple random beekeeping links. First, a four-language beekeeping translation dictionary. And a dictionary of beekeeping terms.
