I dug the sugar bag out of the trash
and it said "Pure Cane Sugar"
so I poured the sugar water
into the feeder this morning.

It was cold - the radio said 49 degrees -
and there was no evidence of any bees around:
none in the feeder,
none visible on the front of the hive.

I could not hear any humming.
But perhaps the BeeMax Styrofoam hive
absorbs sound more then wood.

I checked tonight when I got home after dark
and still no evidence of bees.
I'll check tomorrow / Saturday
at midday and if I don't see any bees
I'll put on the gear and open the hive
for a quick look just to make sure
that they haven't shuffled off
this mortal coil.
