And the beard goes on…
Today marks the third day that Hive 1 has worn it’s beard! I must say I was surprised. I thought the bees would have returned to their hive after the first day, but they’ve been hanging out for three. The beard is slowly growing smaller.
This evening Hive 2 finally started showing some bearding behavior, though with their own style. Instead of clumping together like Hive 1, they’re covering the hive.
What’s in the jars on top of the hives?
The jars are filled with simple syrup. I’m still feeding my bees because drawing out honey comb reqires a lot of energy
