    That scope scared me! All the empty space and dead bees. I found plexiglass inner cover is the bomb. I can see them without opening it up😊

    • @CastleHives

      A plexi inner would be great. I'll probably check fondant this weekend, so should see more activity then.

    Brian, I usually check my hives before sunrise. I find too much noise with the infrared camera when the Sun is up. Hope all colonies have survived.

      That is a good idea! I never thought about that. I'm going to check them tomorrow, well, the fondant. We're hitting 31, so we have warmer Temps coming.

      @brianpodhaski6690 Mine is the Topdon TC001. That model is specific to android phones. I think the TC002 is iPhone.
