I've hefted my hives this morning and although still quite heavy they are a lot lighter than they were before Christmas when they were OA treated. I reckon I'm going to have to feed soon.
When I OA treated I recorded the following:
Hive 1: 8 Frames of bees in BB, good weight of stores in Super.
Hive 2: 10 Frames of bees in BB and 6 frames in super. (This has 2 supers)
Hive 3: 6 Frames of bees in BB good weight of stores in super.
The queston is where should I put the fondant?
My guess is on the BB frames. If that's the case then should I use an eke or cut thin pieces?
Or will on top of the supers do, my guees is that this could be too far away from the cluster?
Thanks in advance.
