Our "Beezles" are moving up in the world! We named the strongest hive Paul and the slightly-less-robust hive Ringo. A couple of weeks after they got their supers, they were busting at the seams already! It seems to be an exceptionally nectar-rich spring after all the rain we had over the cool months, and they have really put the goodies to use. Even though they had to create all-new comb, all the frames in the new supers are covered- with honey and some brood. (The queens didn't get the memo that they were meant to lay in the brood boxes and they have made brood in the supers. Time for queen excluders once they have moved back down.) Paul has some bearding action. Fanning and dehydrating honey, perhaps?
Have y'all ever seen privet look like this- like white lilac?
The vine honeysuckle and yellow poplars are blooming wildly, too. So today, the Beezles get extra space to put all that sweet stuff. Whew, at least for a little while!
