Mama Bee and me
Mama bee & Me
Today, I finally got to open the hives for their first check to see what they have been doing in a week. Also we have named the hives as well. Cameron's hive (Hive #1) is Queen Vanessa. He came up with the name after watching "The Bee Movie" as the main human characters name is...Vanessa! My hive or Hive #2 is named Queen Latifah...no explanation is needed!
After suiting up my daughter Brittany and I opened Hive #1 only to find that I had forgotten to put the center frames back and that the girls had make beautiful burl comb patties which hung from the inner cover. Yes, though it was beautiful to see the comb had to be sadly removed. Queen Vanessa was located and after a long time searching I finally noticed eggs in the bottom of the cells! With this we closed up Hive #1 and continued to Hive #2. Hive #2 - Queen Latifah was found in great health and the presence eggs and pollen were seen. We did not take any pictures as everything looked great and hive was closed.
