New Bee
Hi hope you can help...
I hived a 5 frame nuc last weekend and am feeding the bees. I have put in an entrance block but wondered whether in this weather I should remove it - I have an open mesh floor if that makes a difference. I ask as I've noticed that the syrup in the rapid feeder is evaporating suggesting it is hot (there is a cover for the feeder but the sugar is crystallising on the bottom and the lid has a lot of condensation.
Thanks
