honey bees... whoo hooo!

clkeiper · May 24, 2016

here was yesterdays work.. at least some of it. I started the day weed eating while it was still cool. then in the afternoon I had friends come help.. one to watch for my customers and her husband to help with the bees. the first hive is filled to the hilt with bees and honey already.
the 2nd hive is the swarm from last week... the third hive I didn't even know there were bees in it. I thought as quiet as it was it was bees checking it out for a potential site..Maybe they just swarmed into the hive because there was no new brood in it yet, but I did find the queen. and just as we finished up for the day in drove a neighbor with a swarm in her apple tree. whoo hoo a BONUS! so now I am back up to 4 hives.
