Have just done very first hive inspection, having hived a nuc one week ago. Everything looks good - saw eggs, larva and the Queen! Bees seemed happy ergo I'm happy.
My question is this - the bees have almost finished a small contact feeder of syrup (1:1 granulated sugar/ water mix made using 1.5kg of sugar); should I give them another feeder full? My instinct says 'yes'. In a week, they've drawn out nearly two frames of foundation, fully on one side and partially on other side.
Is it wise to give the bees a little extra help for another week?
Thank you.
