The official start of the beekeeping season is almost here: package day! Only two weeks away. I'll be getting a package for the first time since I started this whole hobby four years ago. I need to replace the dead-out that was Cam's hive. I also need a new queen so I can split Toby's hive. Then I'll be back to three hives instead of the one and a half I have right now. I am so ready to get rolling with the new year!
I checked on Toby's hive today and they are ready to rock and roll. Both boxes are totally full of bees. The drones are hatching out and they're making more queen cups. Good thing I'm splitting it or they would be ready to swarm for sure.
