Decided to look into the colony again today. Since these are top bars I can do that without disturbing anything. All I did was pull off some end bars and look inside. Lots of new comb being build. Could see some clear nectar being stored so I pulled the feeders.
Killed 3 or 4 SHB in the feeder areas.
The hive body was built with a screened bottom board and a chamber to hold oil trays. Well today I installed the oil trays. Maybe I can do a better job of keeping ahead of the beetles this year.
