All Closed Up

Last night I closed up the bees so that someone could come today to trim the tree above the bees. I used a mesh screen and my mouse guard (to hold the screen in place) to close the bees inside. Here is what the hive looked like on Friday after the tree guys left:

As I opened the bees, they burst out (I bet it was pretty hot in there):

I also fed the bees, since all of their sugar water was gone. Here you can see that a bunch of bees were up in the feeder trying to find a way out of the hive:
