Greedy Bees

Having topped up the feeder on Saturday with 2 pints of sugar solution I wasn't expecting to see much change when I checked tonight, wow all gone! Perhaps it was because I had lowered the feeding tray and it was easier for the bees to get to the food?

This time I filled feeder with 4 pints of sugar solution, the clever money is on the bees eating this by Thursday?

When I bought 30kg of sugar I thought it might end up lasting a couple of seasons, I'm not so sure now, that's 10kg gone into the hive so far!
