Yesterday I went to do the oxalic on a couple of hives and one was clustering nicely so did that one ok. The other still had a half full feeder on since October and quite a few bees were up feeding. When I went to remove it (and the crown board) the bees were all very active and started to come out, so I left it , they were even coming out the front to see what was going on. Question is, any advice on whether I should leave the feeder on, I was reluctant to disturb them this time of year and they seem fine.
