This morning I found very large fire ants and very many of them going after the sugar syrup in 2008-A. I've noticed smaller ants since I started, but never this many and never this big. I think the new style feeder seals better, but we'll see.
In what may be the tragedy, I decided to spray some ant killer on the legs of the hive stand. I've never seen bees on the stand and never on the ground without good reason. Plus, I've seen where people recommend dripping Gardstar in front of hives and I know that's not good for the bees too.
We'll see when I get home...
