Checked the hive today. There are so many more bees nowadays, which is a good sign. Didn't see any sign of ants, probably because of the rain. Since there are such large numbers of bees I will remove the entrance reducer the next time I do the powdered sugar procedure, which should be some time this week. I took a few photos of the bees. I have also been recording the bees on a camcorder, later this month I will copy the sessions to a dvd and then post them.
