The Wonderful World of Bees

Some good signs of activity near the entrance. (And check out the amazing hive stand that Corren made!)

We really look forward to our weekly hive checks every Friday. It is so exciting to see what these industrious little gals are up to. Robb gets the smoker going and we remove each frame and make sure everything is looking good. That means finding the queen, checking their progress in making new comb and depositing honey, pollen and brood.
