Feral bees

Feral Bees

The bees from the bush on my allotment are housed in two supers together and they did have on top of those a brand new brood box. On top of the brood box was a crown board and feeder bucket.

Today I took off the new brood box and lowered the crown board with feeder bucket to sit on top of the two supers. The bees were not going up through the brood box to get to the feed.

Student allotment apiary

The student allotment apiary has three hives all of which had new buckets of feed put on just a week ago. That feed has been taken completely by the bees in the two hives with double brood boxes and is almost finished on the new hive.
