I captured a swarm (cast) last week and put them in my only deep hive body
with new foundation and a screened bottom board. This is all I have right
now. There is no flow on now so I started to feed them. The 1:1 syrup has
dripped through the hive and through the screen. This has attracted my othe
8 hives to the bottom of the hive being fed and has caused robbing. I will
move the new hive tonight to stop this.
Now, my question is; what would happen if I set up a feeding station about
50 or so meters from all of my hives? Would they all feed there or would I
cause other problems? They all water at the same pond and I am sure that the
bees in the clover are not all from the same hive. What do ya'll think?
