Wow, the hives are almost a year old! It's package day this Saturday. I won't be getting any but some of my friends are. Flowers are popping up all over now: forsythia, ornamental cherries, weeping willows, violets, bulbs. Even a few early dandelions. It's been in the 50s and rainy/breezy but everything is really greening up. If we get a stretch of 60-ish temps, the garden will just explode.
The hives are looking good; I saw the first of the drones this week (bees, not brood). I need to finish painting the nuc box so I can make it up soon. I reversed the hive bodies in Toby's hive but it's pretty much already full with brood, pollen and honey. Time to super soon!
