I had some time to run out to the bee yard once again to check on their activity. I was prepared this time with 2 more supers. A med and a shallow just in case. This is the VERY first thing I look for. Pollen! If the bees are bringing in pollen it means you probably have a laying queen. Pollen is needed for the larva.
I went to take photos this time but left the card at home so I have nothing cool to show you but the family hive was ready for a shallow. It was a little early I admit but they only had 4 frames to go so I will have to watch them closely.
Brunhilda is about 6 frames away. I could throw one on as early as Wednesday but I may wait till Friday.
Reina (Meg's hive) was ready for her first Honey super. We gave her a Med and hopefully she will really start to take off. I will try to get some good photos of the bee yard and some activity from the field.
