No. Its been mostly to cold for them to make any wax I think since I put them (candy feeders) on.

I just noticed it looked like a little cluster of bees hanging from the top. I started out feeding dry sugar and noticed a fair amount of it on the BB so I tried adding a bit of water to some sugar to get it to lump up - It worked, but not quite like I imagined. Funny, if you don't want it to lump up in the pantry it turns into rock candy. My bees are all over it though.
