Just a quick question really...
When I visited the girls to do their OA treatment a couple of weeks ago I noticed that their sugar syrup stores seemed granulated. Is this normal? Do they deal with this ok considering they are not going out for water? They certainly seemed to have lots of food - almost as much as when they started winter...or so it felt as I struggled to lift the brood out of the way. They were spread across both brood and super.
It was the same last year I think so its a question I've been meaning to ask about for quite some time,
