When the hive was new, less than two weeks ago, it took the bees a week to drink the ball jar of syrup. Now, it’s taking them only two days. Similarly, the bees are making fast work of the candy fondant we put above the queen excluder, so we added more today. They are putting wax on the queen excluder, but don’t seem to have spread out to the extra four frames much yet, so we don’t think it’s quite time to put a new super on top.
