Damn, that guy must be in to some kind of sadomasochism, yellow jacket stings don't bother me all that much but those will. At Ft. Sherman in Panama we were warned about the bullet ant but luckily in the 5 years I was in central and south American I haven't seen not one.
Hey TF, my mentor said that since we are now having really dry weather that I may need to supplement the bees feeding with some Sugar water.
Question: I there is honey on each frame of the super and I can't remove any to make room for the jar feeder,,,,,,
1. Do I put an empty deep on top of the super and put the feed in it? Or
2. Do I use it as an external feeder since it is temporary? I'm worried about ants.
3. Is it possible to put the the feeder jar in it's little plastic external holder and just let it sit on top of hive for a few days?
Thanks.
I opened both hives. The hive that had the swarm has zero honey on the supers, but the deeps are heavy.
The other hive has a small about of honey on 4 frames. I pulled 3 frames from each and put in sugar water.
The bees were not as nice as usual. I may have had my smoke too warm or something. A bee got under my veil and stung me under my eye near my cheek. Tender meet. Then one stung me on my finger.
It's a good thing I don't have neighbors, because I was scantily clad by the time I stopped stripping off clothes.
My son got stung too. We are not bee virgins anymore.
The bee hive strip tease, lol
