Drought is here and Bees are in feeding frenzy


We are having a drought currently and I think that is increasing the amount of food and water the bees are taking from the feeder jar. This is the feeder stand at the front of the hive just after I took out the feeder bottle. The bees are emptying the quart jar everyday now. I got 4 tyvek suits in the mail yesterday from an Ebay purchase. This are meant to be throw-away suits but since I wear them for 10 to 15 minutes I bet I can use them for over a year. Cost $20 including shipping.
