🍽️ Feeding Sugar Cakes


Finally, got the sugar bricks (Recipe) made, it has been really warm, so we have been concerned about them burning through their stores due to activity. This time of year there's nothing to forage, so they are just wasting energy and food. Unlike us where we seem to be storing around our middles with Thanksgiving and Christmas Cookie Season upon us. More foraging is definitely needed... 😉


The house kind of smells good while this is baking, B doesn't agree. She feels the spearmint in the  Honey B Healthy is nauseating and counters with Yankee Candles. So now we have competing smells of Wrigley's Chewing Gum and Winter Stargazing Candle Scent that are pretty off-putting.

Later in the afternoon, temperatures reached close to 70℉ on December 4th! We donned our bee coats and put the shims and bricks on the hives, the hives look really good. Especially Hive 15... Whoa there's a lot of bees. They actually got (2) bricks.

In their immediate future will be another OAV treatment to continue the Varroa mop up while the amount of brood should be pretty low. Days are still getting shorter, and we stand to lose about 15 minutes more of daylight in the mornings before finally turning the bend.
