Both nurse hive had finished eating the syrup, so I gave each another pint. I decided to start feeding at twilight, as I worry a lot about robbing. I also closed Liz’s queen castle a bit more with a piece of wood so that the opening is not as big. When I lifted the jar in Liz’s hive, the bees had started comb on it. I think that is a good sign, adding wax is a job that is needed to create the queen cells, so if wax is being added to the jar, that means there are bees of the correct age in the hive for that job.

More syrup is cooking.
