Put Bar of Stiff Fondant in Hive


  • Took out bar I had previously harvested completely -- they have no intention of building comb on it at this time.
  • Cut a bulge out of the last honey bar, slid it over, and added the bar of fondant I made.  Basically the hive should be ready for winter now.
  • As best I can tell they have at least 10 bars full of capped honey.
  • Did not see any small hive beetles.
  • Goldenrod still smells bad!
  • Did this all without smoke or anything since there were very few bees in the honey area
  • Bees started at least examining the fondant frame, not sure if they are actually eating it already or what.  Need to check again.
