Hello, Thanks for the advice I received last week. I had a queen who was still in her cage one week after installation. The advice that I took was to open up the opening though the candy more to release her quickly. The following day, I opened up the hive quickly, and there was a bee in the queen cage, but I think it was a worker, probably attracted by the scent on the queen cage, in fact, lots of bees were tending the cage even though I suspect that she wasn't inside, her effects are long lasting, I presume. (This brings up the question, when examining, I find the veil obstructs my vision greatly. Do you become used to it, or is that something I have to live with? My first question is how long should I continue feeding sugar syrup? They are still taking in large quantities. (I've given them over 15 lbs of sugar in two weeks! I never expected this hobby to be economical, but this is worse than my chicken hobby :-) At what point should I add the second deep frames? I currently have my feeder on top of my inner cover which is over the first deep. Then I have the body of the second deep on top of the first, with a 1 gallon feeder over the hole in the top cover. I was planning on putting the frames in the second deep as soon as the frames on the bottom deep appear to be fully drawn out. Is this too late? Should I put the frames in before the outermost frames are drawn out? I've read that the best time for opening up the hive is during the day when most bees are foraging. But I am usually not home until 6:00PM. I've not read if it is risky to open up the hive at that time, or just not optimal. Opinions? I've heard conflicting opinions on how often to open up the hive. I'd like to see what is going on often, but I don't want to upset them unnecessarily. What is a good frequency of checking the hive wihtout become a nuisance to them? Lastly, what type of veil is preferred? Is there such a thing as veils with plexiglass over the eyes to help the viewing? What is the name and phone number of a company that has a catalog that I can look at and possibly order from? Thanks, Marc
