It's early evening and the bees are hanging out on their porch, as it's still very warm outside. One of the hives has a very large number of bees hanging out outside -- it is about to be expanded, since we need to give them a little extra room.
Since it was over 100 degrees fahrenheit yesterday and today, we put the bee syrup in the fridge to keep it a little cooler. The bee syrup is a one-to-one mixture of water and sugar. In addition, we put in a bit of lemongrass oil since it's supposed to help fight tracial mites.
Here's a quick snapshot of the bees getting some fresh air on their "front porch":
