Feeding the bees and cleaning the quail house



Yesterday we fed all of our hives after we found one of them in which most of the bees had died. This is the only hive from which we have taken honey this year and we assumed that there was still plenty of foraging for the bees. However it could be that the colony has starved, hence the reason we decided to feed all the hives.

Meanwhile, the quail house was cleared out in advance of the move of the quail chicks from the brooder box.
