Took the outer cover off the hives for the first time today. Wanted to check to make sure they had plenty of food. Didn't touch the inner cover. Both hives had taken 1/3 to 1/2 of the first gallon that had fumigilin-B. I took the 2 cans from the packages out and put another gallon each on. This had Honey B Healthy in it. They were very calm. didn't act like they were concerned about me being there at all. Couldn't see into the box through the hole in the inner cover. All I could see was a frame and bees.

I did take the cork out of the boxes for the feed. The side cork... the accident ;) It has been rather warm and I wanted to make sure they had enough ventilation. Probably in the 80's today.
