Went on site. I decided to remove the syrup jar since the girls appear to be getting a better food source else where. As an experiment I replaced the feeder jar with an empty jar with the lid removed so the bees can get into it. I am hoping they will build comb in there.
I looked for ants and other outside pests and didn't see any.
Last night I made some "grease patties" to use to treat the varroa mite problem. Still looking into when to apply the patties since the powdered sugar method is being used for the mites.
There are many many more bees to be seen on and flying around the hive. When I removed the feeder jar I saw hundreds of bees in the second brood chamber.
