Exciting news...

We went into the apiary this evening and we found
 1 Queen in each hive. 
Can you spot the queen right in the middle?  She's very long and her wings are short
 

Honey!  Look close...most of the cells are capped.  The bees are working hard!


 
 Brood!  This means the queen is laying.  Look closely and you can see white larve on the left side of the frame.  Below the capped cells are developing pupa.

  1. Julie, I think I found the queen bee and how fascinating! I am really impressed~ Now, do you have to gather the honey and can you eat it without any type of processing? Wow!
