Hi All,
After all the bad weather and posts I've read I thought I'd better start checking my colonies a little more frequently than once a week. All colonies have fondant in take away tub above CB. Noticed that a couple are runnign low on fondant and would like to change it over to a fresh tub but can't because the old tub is still full of bees eating the last of the fondant. I even tried first thing this morning (6am) but alas lots of them still in there. What shall I do? Shall I risk waiting for the fondant to be eaten completely and then hopefully they won't be in the tub and I can get another tub on...?
