bees are doing well!

by | Nov 7, 2009 | bees | 7 comments

I opened up the hive today for the first time since catching the swarm and moving them into their new home 2 weeks ago.
They’ve been busy and have drawn comb on 3 of the frames and have a good looking brood coming along. I also saw lots of pollen and honey so they are doing well.
No sign of the queen but there were fresh little eggs so she’s in there somewhere 🙂

thanks to kim for shooting the video 🙂

some more photos…

    What’s with all the protective gear? Shorts? T-shirt? Crocs?

    “i gotta get out of here” might be the most subtle funny of that. make Kim a drink for filming that…

    No fear! Even with the smoke, I’m impressed with your bee handling skills.
