November 11, 2009 3 pm

The weather was cloudy, cool and windy with a temperature of 63º.

Mixed a batch of 2:1 sugar water for the bees. It was enough for four, 1 quart mason jars.

The Alpha hive seemed like it needed to be fed so today was the day.

When I removed the top lid cover where the mason jar goes, the bees started to boil out of the opening. I had to quickly put the full mason jar in the opening to stop the exodus.

The Beta hive seems to have quite a bit of stored honey so I did not give them any extra food.
