I went to tuck them up for winter today, hoping to take off those two-pot, full-frame feeders and put fondant and insulation on. But the feeders - those green plastic ones - were almost welded to the brood box by comb full of honey. And of course they were also full of bees.
So I left them to it, putting insulation on the top of the feeders. Probably not the right thing to do, but how to deal with lots of excess untidy (to me!) comb loaded with honey and defensive bees? Especially those bits wedged into the feeder pots?
