May 22 & 24 - Finally adding more sugar syrup

I don't have a video yet from these days...

May 22nd was 63 degrees and sunny, and we checked at 2:15 pm.  It's been too cold and rainy to check on them until now! Beeatrice (Right) - didn't see any eggs but larvae and capped brood, and removed some moldy looking pollen pattie.  Now taking syrup...need to add more! I added a little, 1/2 to 1/3 full.  Need to go make more....

Saw Penelobee (left) and larvae in top box.  Same story with pollen and syrup.  Turned and shifted some frames but 6-8 frames were being worked below.

May 24th I went back to give them some fresh sugar syrup and wipe out the buckets.
