It was about 85º and clear skies at the bee yard.
Swarm Hive
Replaced the empty feeder jar with a full one. There are a lot of bees coming and going. Quite a few of the bees are bringing in pollen.
Still need to give the hive more time with the queen(if shes still there).
Alpha & Beta hives
Didn't open the Alpha hive. I will take a look inside on 21 April, Wednesday and see whats happening. There are a few bees coming and going in the Alpha hive.
The bees from the Beta hive still haven't done anything with the honey super. They are busy coming and going. I am considering opening it tomorrow for a quick inspection.
Split hive
There are a lot of ants on the back of the hive going in and out of the top hive feeder box. Put down some insecticide with a watering can to deal with the ants. I'll take a look inside on 21 April.
