Swarm Checkup

The temperature got up into the 70s today in Atlanta and I was very interested to see how the swarm hive was doing. When I got home, there was still plenty of daylight *and* activity, so I decided to go ahead and clean out all of the leaves and things that got in when I scooped them all up off of the ground.


Once that was done, I put a hive-top feeder on, filled one side with 2:1 syrup and closed them up for an hour with the intention of checking it in an hour. When I came back, I was very pleased to see them take to it like crazy.


They were still too clumped together to try and find the queen, but hopefully I'll be able to find her this weekend.
