Establishing the Hive

We most probably will not get any honey, to harvest, this first year. The bees will spend the time, from now until December, storing enough honey in order to survive the winter. We checked the hive and noticed larvae in the lower brood box. This is good news. We have a second hive consisting of a brood chamber and a super waiting in the wings for the Spring. At that point, we will decide whether to split the hive or order a new Queen and 3 more pounds of bees.
