They’re still here!!
Yes, I am excited about that fact since I haven’t done an inspection since my last post. I fed both hives on Friday, July 9th, and then I left them to their own devices until today. I stepped on a rock and rolled my ankle the last time I went down there. I had plans to go see my parents, aunt, sister and her family in the middle of this last week. I wasn’t going to risk hurting my ankle again as I had no plan C.
I’m getting to where I don’t know what to do about how fast one of my hives is growing. Frigga already has 2 deeps and I took a peek inside the top one before I added syrup to their feeders and each frame is full. I know I need to do an inspection, but we’re supposed to be in a dearth here by now, but the girls are still hauling in pollen!
I’m just doing a short post today since I haven’t posted in probably way too long. The forecast for the week has changed so many times in the past few days, I won’t believe it’s going to be a nice day for an inspection until it happens. I’ll be posting about each hive separately when I do that because I’ve decided my heat intolerance is so bad that staying outside for two hours in my bee suit, even though it’s designed to be cooler than a regular bee suit, it is still hella heavy and hot.
This is all I have for now. I still have bees in both hives. Sometime this week I’ll learn whether both hives still have queens. As always, if you have any questions, just ask! If i can’t answer them, I know people who probably can!
Have a great week everyone!!
