Hi All,
 
I have received and installed successfully my three hives!  WHEW!!!  The
girls are doing great in learning the area.  It was amazing while install
them that they seemed to hover in front of my face as if they were looking at
me.  Very amazing creatures!  I have a few newbie questions today :
 
1.  I put feeder jars on the hives with a 1:1 sugar syrup.  How long should I
continue to feed them?
 
2.  How do I get rid of fire ants in my beeyard?
 
3.  What flavor of honey (if any) does cotton produce?  Or do bees pollinate
cotton?
 
 
Thanks in advance!
