We're more than half way done with this beekeeping season and things are going as well as can be. Here we are inspecting the overwintered hive.
At our last inspection, I didn't see any brood, and was so worried that the hive could potentially be Queenless. But, I was so thrilled to see that the Queen is alive and laying perfect brood! Look at this gorgeous deep frame of brood. It's so lovely. We were literally jumping for joy because I feared that the Queen had died. But she is alive and well and doing awesome.
Not only is the hive doing exceedingly well, they are making gorgeous frames of honey. Just look how beautiful these frames of honey are! I am getting so excited to harvest! I can barely wait!
At my second hive, the other Queen is also laying well! We found lots of perfect brood!
Here's a close up of one of the frames. The pollen on the bottom looks amazing, and they have capped honey on top. This is beautiful.
Even Oscar the kitty was in the beekeeping mood! He's not afraid of the bees at all!
