Lorell, that's great that he's into bees! The bee populations have been going down, and the more we can help the bees the better! And the honey is just a sweet benefit!!Nice hive!!
Hi, Dave! That rose is pretty sharp!! Lovely color!! I wish I could grow roses....I think I may buy one and try again!!
Here is a photo of the feeder where I put sugar water. It is located in the top of the hive. It is shaped almost like a bundt pan, and you fill it with sugar water. The bees come up from the hive in the center hole.....the center hole has a cover over it so they cannot fly out, but can get to the sugar water. I have to feed them because a new swarm in a hive has no honey to eat....they have not made any yet....so I will continue to feed them I was surprised .....they drank a quart in 3 days!! This may get expensive. I mix one cup of sugar to one cup of water! Holy Cow!! They better start making honey!!
