Honey, Brood, a Queen & Mr. Zach the Birthday King!
Hot Stuff! June 14, 2015
Another hot and sultry day in the apiary but the bees are able to keep their hives at a constant temperature year round. That's pretty amazing, right? Wish Mr. Dave "BUZZ-BEE" would do the same in our humble abode! Ha!
All three hives are looking good. We added a honey super to the strongest last week and a second brood box to hive number two. We saw the Queen had moved up and looked to be doing some work so that's great. Box number three is still only one box strong but the bees seems to be taking to their majesty just fine at the start of week three of her reign. Our goal is to have three strong hives going into the fall/winter so we don't plan on taking any honey this year.

Not sure about this fellow, but thought he was interesting. Have never seen a bug like this before in the garden.
