Spring is springing in Vermont!
The weather is starting to reach temperatures above 50 degrees
so I have attempted to start feeding my hive.
The only problem is that the bees don't seem to be taking any of
the sugar syrup! I've been checking the hive when I get home from
work and I've noted that there are some bees outside the hive at
the time I get there, (5-6 pm) but they just aren't touching the
sugar syrup! (I have a enterance bottle feeder) I haven't opened
the hive yet this year, but I can hear a pretty healthy amount of
buzzing in the hive. (I'm waiting for a weekend day when the temp
is greater than 60F to open the hive) Should I be concerned?
