Hive 3 seems to be thriving. They have moved up into the second super, but I haven't opened up the hive again to see if the queen is laying brood there. Thought maybe I should give them some "space" for a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, my sugar buying frenzy at the grocery store continues. The bees need to be fed for another three to four weeks. Around noon today I realized I hadn't fed them since Sunday — oops! I made up a batch of sugar syrup in a hurry and barely gave it any time to cool off before I filled the feeder and loaded it in the hive. Yes, the bees got hot syrup today! Considering the afternoon heat here during the past two weeks, I doubt they will notice anything different.
