Waxing with Joy!

The Sasha hive top feeder was empty today which was an exciting discovery on two levels:

1. It means the bees are finally taking the sugar syrup in quantity, and
2. The edges of the opening had lots of little, white pieces of wax like that pictured here.

I hope that means that the girls are producing wax in order to draw out more comb in order to store the syrup they are taking from the feeder. Will inspect this weekend and hope to finally see some progress in that hive!
