Hey all- a quick ‘peek’ over the weekend. I checked on the super over the weekend- not much build-out going on up there yet. I have the queen excluder on there and we’ll see how that goes over the next few weeks. I had about a dozen or so bees in the super when I [...] Howdy all! I added the first honey super today. I rushed to build one quickly and get the frames together, so I don’t have any pics of the construction (I knew I had to get this super on asap) – I will take pics and vid of the second one as I build it so [...] Here it is! The second hive body surprised me with it’s progress. FOTB Greg and Mrs. Beekeeper were on hand to film and photograph. I just finished the video edits – I hope you enjoy experiencing the visit with the bees! Here is a link to the video in HD quality. I was pretty [...] Hello all. Left the bees to themselves for two weeks and wow, what progress! Video needs to be processed yet but I think you’ll be surprised! Great progress in the foundation buildout. The top hive body is 80 percent built out. I can’t wait till you all see the video! Will Hello all! Yesterday was a great day – warm and sunny. Had a great visit with the bees. Lots of activity and yes, many more bees are in the hive now. FOTB Greg was there to capture the action as we did a full hive inspection frame by frame.

(She does great work, doesn’t she?) If you click on the thumbnail, you get to see the full sized version of the picture. One of these is now my wallpaper on my computer- they really [...] I just uploaded a new episode of the podcast – we’re up to episode three! I give a quick hive update and discuss the life and times of the honey bee.. the ‘jobs’ she takes on from birth to the end of her life. Use the podcast box to the right to subscribe to the [...] Hi there! First visit to the hive after the bees were installed – they seems to be making a nice happy home! I pulled the frame next to where the queen cage was attached – they had created a sizable free standing comb on there! You can get a great look at it in the [...] Well all, it’s bee-day! The hive is installed and up they’re all settling in to their new home! It was a beautiful day – warm and sunny. The bees arrived at my local post office and I was able to get over there in the early afternoon to begin getting them home. Here is the [...] |
