A hint of spring

Spring weather is finally starting to appear and the bees are busy. The hives were topped off with dry sugar and a 2:1 syrup was put in a feeder hive in front of the other 2 hives. It took the bees a while to find the syrup, but they’ve started to chomp away at it. Having lots of activity at the entrances and the large number of bees eating the dry sugar in the top of the hive gives me hope that I’ll be able to increase the number of hives this year with splits.
First video shows the hives with the outer covers off and lots of bees.
The second video shows the activity at the entrances.
