My single hive was started in cold period, so we put a super on top, with a bottle of syrup. There is also syrup at the entrance to the hive.
The outside supply is not diminishing, although there are some bees around it.
The inside supply has been emptied in two days, and many bees are crawling over, in, under it.
I'm wondering if I should keep both the bottles filled? Also, when the "natural" supply of nectar and pollen is adequate (and weather is good) do the bees naturally go to thoses sources? Should the feeding bottles continued to be maintained?
Thanks,
