It's sunny today after several days of rain so I am itchy to peek into the hives, but it's windy so I'm going to wait until tomorrow. That said I did decide to peek at the syrup buckets and found that the nuc had just about finished its bucket. That's a gallon in 5 days! I put a new bucket on, and I'm planning to look around tomorrow. It's supposed to be about 10 degrees warmer and sunny.
Just wanted to say that our two new hives are also going through sryup like made men. One more than the other, but they both have eaten several buckets. I've had to make 2 trips to the store for 10 lbs of sugar and we started with about 10lbs. Like you, we were itching to check yesterday, but today does look much better. We have a pink flowering tree in our yard they just love!
