There are many who wrote on the topic of spring inspections. So let me comment on a finer point of one point...

The first picture is the way I like to feed many of my light hives in late fall. I just place a 25 pound slab of fondant on the inner cover.

The second picture is what happens when they eat all the fondant and you leave that extra box on all summer. :lol:

Now is the time to do what you need to do...

To add to that, many times a beek will add a super in spring, but doesn't have all the frames ready. He puts a super missing a few frames on intending to put the other frames in a little later. I have heard many times, "those frames will give them a place to work until I get the others ready".

Well, it doesn't work that way. Bees HATE frames. In a box with one frame space open, they will fill that with natural comb before starting on the frames. NEVER, NEVER, put on a box with less than all the frames.

Put on a box with a frame short? I never did that.... And I swear..I never put a super on up-side-down either. I found one like that one time, but someone must of been playing a joke on me...

so the fondant is just put on as is... no mixing anything needed?

Sorry I have never used for cakes or bees =)

I called a place and they said it was made from sugar, water and corn syrup, this is what I want correct?
