Thanks for the info, Peter. It sure looks as if the flow shut off like turning a spigot. Today (yesterday) the hive lost another 2 lbs., while the temp only reached 70F on a mostly cloudy, breezy day. Supposed to get back into the mid-80's on Tuesday here also, albeit briefly. Will see if the flow picks up and report. The whole manner of the bees was obviously different today - they landed, stopped and then walked into the hive. In the heat they hit the landing board at a dead run. Personally, I am in denial that fall is here. ################################### Bill Greenrose Claremont, NH +43.35687 +43° 21’ 25” -72.3835 -72° 23’ 01” CWOP: D5065 Weather Underground: KNHCLARE3 HonetBeeNet: NH001 *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
