Feeding Bees the 3rd week of June?!

It's not unheard of, but this is the first time I've done it. Talking to the old farmers this is the way much of the 70's were. If you don't know what I am talking about, around here we have been getting a huge amount of rain. Right now Salmon Arm feels more like Tofino than the Shuswap! Yesterday I was out mixing syrup with my Wetskins hat on, today I will be doing the same.

Overall the bees look good, but they are light, very light. I am concerned and feeding 6 of my 12 yards. Beyond the bees themselves running short of feed I don't want them to curtail their egg laying. The 3rd week of June they must grow to be big enough for a honey crop. Away I go..
