A New Year Beckons

1/4/2012

Well, the Apiary was visited on New Year's Day.  As promised, the weather was sunny and (reasonably) warm, with an advertized expected high of 52 degrees but a slight easterly breeze - I was not cold in only shirt sleeves, but I would have preferred it still.  About 3 gallons, 3 quarts and 11 oz. of syrup (from 30 pounds of sugar and 15 pints of water) were brought along.

All colonies save B showed flight activity;  the only directly observed colony (B) appearted numerous and lively, if a bt slow-moving.

All feeders were quickly filled with about 20 oz. left over, so a little less than 3 and 3/4 gallons was offered.  This would seem to indicate some leftover / crystalized syrup from last time - suspect C/D and, possibly, A.  Hope the girls figured out what was going on and got busy before the cold set in two days later.

    The Proprietor of Skyline  Apiaries.

    Or his sidekick.

    Or factotum.

    Or a minion.

    Maybe a mere employee.

    Never a lackey, though - one has to draw the line somewhere.
