Total difference between the hives



The first time I had bees I only had one hive. Having two hives this time has given me the chance to notice the very different behavior. The lang hive is still calm and I noticed bright pollen being brought in today.

The TBH is still way more active and aggressive. The mass of bees was still in a ball around the queen cage early today, but later today when the sun was directly on the hive, the bees were flying around in a unorganized manor and the mass of bees had dispersed from the queen cage. Didn't notice any pollen being brought in.

Neither hive seems to be consuming much of the sugar syrup provided.
