Update on a hot week

 Some honeybees are hanging out outside of box with the high 80 degree temps.
 Even though it rained half the day the bees were active this evening but mostly trying to stay cooler.
 Microtel bees are doing well but decided to try out my sugar feeders. Installed two gallon feeder this evening.
Filling with sugar water so they can build comb quicker.
 Strong numbers. The transfer killed very few of the wild bees.
 In four days, the honeybees built out 2.5 frames.
1/2 the honeycomb are filled with new eggs? The queen must be happy with her new digs.
