I put the oxalic acid pads in the hives today. Each hive gets 50 grams of oxalic acid that is mixed with 50 grams of glycerin. The glycerin is heated to LESS than 170F/76C before the oxalic acid is mixed in and then the Swedish dishcloths are cut in half and soaked in the mixture.
This was the Center hive that has the most bees.
No stings, no drama, no surprises.

Just when I think I'm going to get something done I see a good video making opportunity. 4 seconds of 240fps bees slowed down.

Bees in the bird feeder. They're probably collecting cracked corn dust which isn't great.

The water is going down and it's not leaking now since I sealed the print but this is the most bees I've seen drinking water.
This is a bit ridiculous since the hives are 75 feet away from *illions of gallons of water but there's always one or two bees at the dog water, or the geese water, or on dripping faucets. It can't hurt and maybe I'll put a bit of salt and minerals in it for them.

The strongest hive early this afternoon today. The drones are cleaning themselves for any potential encounters as the workers bring food in. I made some little U-shaped water troughs. I've been filling up small jar lids sometimes with water and they seem to drink it so I made something so the water would last longer.
It holds about 60ml or 4 Tbsp.

The bees late this afternoon on a mostly overcast day with a few drops of rain. Lots of big drones in the two most active hives and a steady amount of pollen coming in.
