Mama Bee and me
Mama bee & Me
Wow, what an exciting day today's hive checks were. I installed by bees over 26 days ago and the hives are buzzing! Hive #1 - Queen Vanessa's hive seems to be a little loud and active. I did use the smoker on the hive. I had to remove a little burl comb attached to the inner cover but not much. Queen Vanessa has been very busy and eggs and larva was seen was well as a Drone cell. Hive #2 - Queen Latifah hive was very quite and very busy! The first thing I notice that they are drawing comb very very well and I may have to add a second super this coming week. the second thing I noticed was the hive seemed to have more bees...which we have baby bees!!! The center frames had many new hatched bees and after watching the frame for a while I could tell which were new baby bees. They were fuzzy and their wings were more tightly wrapped. Queen Latifah was seen as new eggs and cells with larva. I pulled out one frame that had over a third plus of capped honey! I noticed a couple of Drone cells and removed little burl comb. I can't wait for this weekend check!!!
