I hadn’t fed my new swarm in a couple of weeks, so I cracked open the top honey supers to take a look. They’d drained their feed trough long before. So, I added more 2:1 syrup and a pollen patty cake. Meanwhile, I peeked in to see what they have been up to…

Just full disclosure here, I am an accidental beekeeper and I have no clue what I’m doing. If these bees survive winter, it will be a miracle. All I know is they didn’t bring any honey with them and I feel like I need to feed them every 2 weeks!
