Hello everyone, I am brand new to beekeeping. Wow do I have some questions. Ive read every book and realized there is no substitute for experience! I started this year with two hives. 3lb box into each 10 frame deep. I have a "strong hive" and a "weak hive". My question concerns my strong hive. I call it strong because it has been about a month and it looks robust. The frames are almost full of pollen, honey, cappped brood, and lots of tightly grouped eggs. When they started working on frame 9, I put another 10 frame box on top. I have been feeding them sugar water the whole time. Now, since I added the second 10 frame box, it seems they are not using as much sugar water. Is it time to stop feeding them? What is the rule of thumb? Thanks Ken. :-D
