You can see them zooming around in the air from the kitchen windows. They're collecting pollen and nectar like crazy. The locust trees are just about done blooming but the mock orange is just starting up and I hear that it's one of their favorites.

Almost Summer
The hives are two months old now! I have no idea how many bees we have now but it's a lot more than when we started. Both deeps are full and they're drawing out the honeycomb in the supers. They're about halfway done with that job already! I finally got some pictures of the hives opened up do you can see the bees on the frames. Aren't they cute?? Most of the bees that came in April are gone now (they only live a couple of months) so all the ones you see have been born in our backyard. Everyone except for the two queens of course.
