I have 2  1 week and 1/2 old packages on HSC and they have been taking syrup. At one week I did a check and the queens were released but no brood. The one thing I've been looking for but have not seen is them bringing in pollen. I have heard that since bees were more reactionary than thinking that regardless if a queen was laying or not that if pollen/nectar or water were available they would collect and store it. Is this true? I am not necessarily troubled by this but curious. What say yal?? Thank's, Brad
If the only dog you can here in the hunt is yours, your probaly missing the best part of the chase.

can you tell if there is a good source of pollen there?  Did you install over drawn out comb or just foundation.  Perhaps they are still working on the storage space.

From what I understand pollen is everywhere right now. These bees are on HSC so no building comb. Thank's, Brad
