May 7, 2011Time for first inspection of the hive, one week after getting bees. Wearing a cobbled together bee suit (note duct tape). I was nervous about protection from stings. Looked at two frames. Saw the queen walking around and removed the empty queen cage. Saw comb being made. There was some nectar and pollen. Couldn't identify any eggs.
Feeding the bees with 1:1 sugar water using the entrance feeder. They are drinking nearly a quart a day! We needed a trip to Costco for a 25-pound bag of sugar.
