Feral bees

The feral bees from the car park had finished their bucket of feed. It's late in the year but I filled it and replaced it. Moving it down closer to the bees certainly seems to have made the difference.

Being able to get close to the bees in order to feed them in the middle of winter is one good argument for taking them through the winter on a single brood box only.
