I think I was feeding every bee in the county! I since learned if you are going to do this it should be at least 150 yards from your hive so that there isn't a bee war.flowerweaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903201215823510915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-424987647827498532010-09-16T15:59:13.687-05:002010-09-16T15:59:13.687-05:00Wow, you have many talents I see.

We've gotten another 3 inches over the last few days to add to the 8 we got last week! We did have a terribly dry August though.

If you wanted to feed them just for fun though you could get a hive feeder and just set it out somewhere and see if anyone showed up. As they are just coming in to eat, they won't hurt anything/anyone unless you accidentally smash one or something.thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-36878915514855327772010-09-16T10:43:31.395-05:002010-09-16T10:43:31.395-05:00How very, very interesting.

You ALWAYS give me a treat when I visit, and this was ever so sweet.<br /><br />I wonder if I should feed the wild bees here?
