Noticed on Wednesday that both hives were almost out of sugar syrup. Made a double batch and let it cool until yesterday afternoon, Thursday. 2008-B definitely got most of it as they're still drawing out comb on the foundation, and I dabbled a little into 2008-A. I'll pull theirs when I add the next box--probably a week from tomorrow.
Didn't notice any Small Hive Beetles, but did see a number of ants in both feeders. I've decided that as long as I don't see anymore than a dozen I won't take extreme measures. I guess they've been known to feed on SHB larvae and that's a good thing!
