We added syrup to the hives this afternoon. It was spitting snow this morning and then rain most of the day with a high temperature of 46 F.
T1 took 1/2 gal, T2 took no syrup, L2 took 1/2 gal, T3 took 1 gal, and L3 1/2 gal. We are curious why T2 is not taking syrup and will take another look at the hive as soon as it warms up a bit. The top bar hives show a variation of none to a full gallon and the Langstroth hives were consistent. The sample space is too small to draw any conclusions but it is something to watch as the season progresses.
