This is box #7. It is the first hive that I will check to see how the bees are accepting the new candy. A peak through the center hole of the inner cover spikes my interest.
I had to lift the lid to take a look at the bee party.
This is box #9. It has the only prepared candy board which is 7/8 inch deep. There were a couple of bees near the candy. I will follow up in a few days to see if the bees have moved onto the food.
Box #1 is a 5 frame colony of VSH bees in a divided brood box.
Box # 8 shows the 3/4 inch shim being used to give space for the candy on the top bars. The bees seem to be enjoying the new food source.
