Fed the bees today because the weather has continued to be cool and rainy. Ratio is 1 to 1 sugar water and added 1 teaspoon of HoneyBHealthy. Temperature was mid 80s with thunderstorms expected on Saturday, the following day. Got to the hives around 6pm, a little late in the day, however, they advise to feed late in the day.
First hive is the stronger one, bees were somewhat aggressive...not too, probably because they were all in from the field and the colony is well populated. I didn't have time to pull frames to inspect because of the time. I didn't bring the smoker with me and the bees were a little too feisty for me to do a thorough inspection. With a quick peek, it looked like the frames were full and so I put on another super.
Second hive, not as strong because of circumstances with a hungry bear knocking it down and the package delivered with a couple hundred dead bees. Electric fence up for bear control and 2nd hive is managing as good as expected. Fed the hive and closed it up. No need to add another super right now.
