W.H.A.T.
A beautiful mid-80’s day in Walberg Heights made our 3rd new hive inspection pleasant, smooth, and sweaty. At least for Blumbin’ Bee it was. Frau Imkerin is always cool.
Bob was at 94 degrees and noisy after a smoky entrance. The outer 2 frames are still pretty much untouched. Once Bumblin’ got into the middle it was very exciting. When he pulled out frame 7 he knew something good was going on.
The sun has been shining the last couple of days after a cool spell. Bumblin’ Bee had been off work all week and it is really hard to not open Bob to see what’s going on in the hive. They have only been in the new hive for 19 days and he is still trying to be hands off. He added feed yesterday, but with the top hive feeder he didn’t really “open” the hive.
We noticed the sugar water we were feeding was starting to get a little moldy after 2 weeks. The weather for the weekend is supposed to be rainy, windy, and cool so I decided to change it out and inspect both hives today. Continue reading “Week Two New Package Inspection”
