Feeding after a shook swarm - one2one or two2one?

[exmoorbee]

we put ours onto a solid floor as a temp. measure after the shook swarm yesterday to try and keep them a bit warmer to aid wax building.

Agreed - too cold, hopefully Easter will be warmer!!!!

Accuweather says not but sunny on Friday!

Yep, thats where my head is as well. I am putting the space board blocks back on all of mine, no option but to super 2 colonies this week, the others are without and I'll hold out as long as I can. Better to keep the bees and loose the OSR (which is at about 15% bloom around here)

No idea I did. My phone has been really glitchy and sometimes I go to press something and it glitches and I press something else entirely! No I didn't intentionally bump it.
