Hive Check

The weather is suppose to be beautiful. Sunny and near 70 degrees. Went out to look at the hive this morning and the bees are fairly active. The empty hive that has been treated with the moth balls, has some sort of stringy looking fungus(?) on most of the frames. I took these frames out and exposed them to the sun light as well as to the foraging bees in hopes that they will help clean them up. I am going to take pictures and send them to Graham for his analysis and advice.

Placed a pollen patty on the active hive a few weeks ago and have been feeding 1:1 sugar water for a few months. Need to check on the status of these two items sometime this weekend.
