On the nice days, my bees are bringing in tons of pollen. I have had to do some major movement of hive bodies. Almost all of the lower brood chambers were empty and needed to be moved on top for the queen to lay in and the beed to store food.
I have tons of mature drones and drones in various stages of life. This is great. In about a week, I am going to split all of my strong hives and try to recouperate some of my losses.
I am also waiting on a call from Larry Tate for when we can start instrumental insemination. Should be fun!
So good to read your remaining bees are doing well!
ReplyDeleteDo you raise your own queens? That must be interesting.
