My first task this morning was to add a syrup feeder to the nucleus colony that I set up yesterday. This is to ensure that the colony doesn't run short of food. It also provides the raw materials for the bees to produce wax, as they will need to draw out the foundation sheets, to provide comb for the queen to lay in.
Then Hobson, TB, and I headed out for our usual walk. In the afternoon I was back in the carport, where I applied the final coat of oil to the second of the new gates.
As I said on Tuesday, "I just need to coat the undersides of the bottom rails, and they'll be ready to hang." 30% has already reached out to make arrangements for them to be installed.
I will freely admit, that I'll be glad to have finished this job. It really has been incredibly tedious.
