Jim and Volunteer,
Thanks for your help. To answer your questions,
About what time of day was it ........Around 3-4 pm.
Was the sun out or in .........Sun was out, nice day, light wind.
What was the temp. ........70's
Was at a good flying for bees .........Light wind, nice day.
Was it raining .........No, it was really nice for man and beast.
My 2 Hives are elevated about 14" on blocks and planks with about 3' between them.
The other hive seemed unaffected by the addition of the screened ventillation given them.
I guess I am looking for reassurance that feeding a new colony is a help for them and not the reverse.
Thank's again,
paul
