Based on some advice from Art and Shawn’s experience, I went out this morning and took a look. As Art said, the bees were working that perpendicular comb that I pulled off, so I moved it outside the hive.<\/p>\n

I also took out the can of syrup and put it in front of the hive.<\/p>\n

I noticed a bit of comb being built on bars without wax wedges, so I’m feeling more compelled to make some more wedges.<\/p>\n

I used the ZR-90 with SD card to take some low-res video and made my first YouTube video.<\/p>\n

The comb that you see at the bottom of the hive starting about 4:25 is the one that was on the bottom of the queen cage perpendicular to the bars. I think that it’s the cause of the bulge in one comb and the split in another. I took it out:<\/p>\n

\"Come<\/a>

Comb moved to top of hive.<\/p><\/div>\n

I hope that the bees will recover the wax and nectar and build it into the hanging comb.<\/p>\n

My good camera ran out of electricity after only a few shots.\u00a0 I’ve charged it up and extracted the pictures.\u00a0 The resolution is good enough that the pollen bags can be seen:<\/p>\n

Here’s the feeder in the back of the hive:<\/p>\n

It’s still quite far from the bees.\u00a0 My first impression of the top bar hive (TBH)<\/a> is that it’s easier to work than a Langstroth hive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
