Busy Day!

Today, we had our bee expert friend Graham visit to check the hive to make sure things were in place correctly. He said everything was in pretty good shape. We had opened up a drone cell and had seen a small mite; this is not a really bad thing because it is natural, and at the same time, the queen crawled by and was huge and full of eggs ready to lay. Graham had also split the hive for extra activity, and today at the same time our package of bees had come, so we now have the beginnings of three new hives!!!
