8-20-11 Hive Check

The bees had done a fair amount of work on both the 2nd and 8th frames... So instead of taking a chance on a swarm, I thought it made sense to go ahead and add the second set of 10 frames.  This seemed like a good time to add the new hive top feeder from Brushy Mountain.  It will hold LOTS more sugar syrup and should be easier to work with than the other feeders.  Also, I completely removed the entrance reducer.  Arguably, I should have done this much sooner.  Below are some pix of the new feeder, etc.
