Still too much sugar

top left: the sugar solution bucket (15kg) with small holes in lid
top right: "offspring" colony (where the bucket is/was).
bottom left: middle colony with some sugar paste remains
bottom right: best developed colony, no sugar remains.

The sugar solution bucket still has a substantial amount of liquid in it and the holes are free. I moved the back two empty combs from the offspring colony to the middle colony and moved their two back honey packed combs to the offspring (MrB's tip from 10 days ago).

I know MrB insisted the sugar came out this week but as the weather is due to stay mild, I would like to give them a bit more time. Will have to speak with him this week.
