On Sunday we went in to treat the hives for the last time. We were advised by our bee guys to do this. So they got a medication for bee diarrhea and one for a bacteria that wrecks our brood. Either way we are done with that sort of thing unless we some other problem crop up.
We checked for eggs, brood and stores. Stores are pollen cells and honey cells both capped and uncapped. We had all these things! Our bees are doing what they are supposed to do. We saw two of our three queens and on one of the frames we saw a brand new bee emerging into the world.
I'm proud to say that we went into all three hives and for the first time no one got stung! Kris, Bill and I were pretty impressed with ourselves on this one and fist bumps abounded.
Below are a few of my favorite pictures from our day.
Peace,
Karen
