Still Hungry!

In the last week I have given the girls about 11 litres of 2:1 sugar syrup!

That's about 2.5 litres each on Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and again today!....The last two times I used  a 1 gallon (3.75 Litre) a zip-loc bag.  This worked a treat - no mess and no dead bees.  When I looked today there was probably about 1/2 to 1 litre of syrup still in the bag.  I don't know if the bees have enough syrup now or if they simply don't find the syrup as easy to get at in the bag.

I'll leave it a fews days before I check again, and maybe next weekend I'll see how much in the way of stores they have accummulated.
