Thanks for Visiting
Beth's mom was in town and came to visit the bees. She joined us to get a closer look at the honey production in hive #2. Beth stayed clear of the hive and took pictures. I don't think she believes our Italian bees are as friendly as we say!

| Today we checked all three hives and added a third honey super to hive #1. The top two honey supers are full so we added the third for the girls to work the comb. If were lucky, they'll build out the comb and add honey. |
