It was 70 degrees today so Casey and I decided to give the hive a quick check. The frame in the picture is from the center of the lower box. It show about 50% of the frame is capped honey and the rest has honey in each cell but is uncapped. They are all worker bees and they appear to be very young. Casey thinks that a new brood must have hatched recently. I agree. We are still feeding the bees sugar water because they are drinking it faster than we can put it out.
I talked with the woman at Wills Ridge Lumber about using the back northwest cornor of thier field, which is adjacent to our land, for two hives. She said that I would have to talk with Joe on Friday but that he probably would have no problem with it.
