Hive was full of queen cells and I split them. Took the marked queen out into the new split. My question is: They really only had frames full of open nectar, not capped honey. I placed about 4 frames full of nectar into the split.
Is open nectar as good as capped honey for them?
I would say nectar would be better because they won't need to bring in water like they would to dilute honey to eat it.
annette,the bees will be fine. schawee
I hear they really do good if you supplement them with beer and hot wings! :cheer: :catchchick:
They'll do just fine, relax.
Mine prefer Shiner Bock and chips with a local chipotle hot sauce. :)
Good luck with those splits.
If we were in late Fall, uncapped nectar might be an issue. At this time of year it's fine. May your hives increase! :-D
Thanks to you all for your great advise. I appreciate all of it.
