With sunny skies and warm temps we moved one of two hives to a new home away from the potential rainy waters that sometimes stand still on the lower part of the yard. We realized two Thursdays ago that one of our hives was empty...don't know where this family went but they are gone without so much as a "See ya later!" Grrrrr, we hate when this happens and we don't know why.
Enough said...two hives strong today and both look good in terms of honey stores and lack of hive beetles. As usual, our fingers remained crossed that we will usher in spring of 2016 with the same two hives healthy and ready to fill their hives with honey.

| More brood than I expected to see in October but I won't complain. More bees means they will need plenty of honey and pollen to feed their young. |

| Always faithful and helpful...my beeyard side kick! He's smokin hot! |
