OK, so I caught a swarm just 3 days ago. They will be getting syrup tomorrow and OA vape soon after that.
Given that they have not benfitted from a spring flow (and they are drawing their own comb too) I am wanting to get them built-up as much as poss for the winter.
Should I feed them pollen-patty through the June gap so that they have better numbers for nectar-foraging once it starts again?
