I wish I'd done this sooner. Not only am I going to prevent some wax moth intrusions, but when I took off the outer cover today to feed there weren't a hundred bees congregating on the inner cover - they were all safely tucked away under the screen. Yay!! This ultimately made me happy for two reasons. Less bee/hand interactions and less bees squished while putting the outer cover back on. Thanks Margaret, for a great idea.
I fed the weak hive 4L and the strong hive just 2L today. I'd wanted to get into the weak hive to check the Queen's laying progress as well as the worker's progress in drawing out the remaining comb but it's hot and I don't want to be outside in that jacket right now.
