It's a Jungle Out There! May 13, 2015 In the Garden
Spring has sprung and our turtle is back! All is good!
In the apiary we created a nuc from the healthy hive last Saturday and hope to check in and see what the bees have been busy doing later next week. In the meantime, we'll keep an eye on hives two and three and keep our fingers crossed that they will continue to multiply.

A Wonderful Day to Share the Bees
On Sunday, May 3, 2015, following a wonderful two days of wedding festivities, I had a chance to take Amanda into the hives. The bees were very agreeable in the back two hives and the brood pattern in each was promising. Hive two officially has a laying Queen and she's doing a super job. Yeah! Next week we will create a nuc to replace the ill fated #1 hive. The Queen we purchased and put in this hive a week ago never made it out her cage alive. Obviously, not a very friendly group of bees in that box. Yikes!
