Solid food

The cold snap continues, and I am worried about the bees. It warmed up to twenty degrees today, and I popped the cover and foam board off of each hive and poured some crystalized cane sugar on top of the inner cover. As usual, there was no sign of life in the Valentinium. There were lots of bees up at the top of Benediction, so many that I figure that the honey stores must be mostly depleted, and the cluster has moved up to the top.
