Spring storms… gotta love ’em… when this leaves, the grass will shoot up!
Before this hit, I spent some time with my bees, removing more of the cross combing. While some beekeepers have suggested I continue into the depths of the hive to see if my queen is laying… I still haven’t made it that far.
I simply removed three bars of empty comb. No honey. No brood. Lots of activity. The next bar in was covered in bees. It was a warm day and they were loving it!
I have two more modifications to make to the Bee Barn.
My pop can heater is finished. The pop bottle light will take little time to install. The best news is that the New Bees will be arriving on Good Friday… and I will be the proud owner of TWO hives! Lots of things to talk about in the coming days… and, oh, a new home for the baby chicks when it warms back up!
Just waitin’ for the spring to warm up again…
Find me here!
What do you do with the cross combing you have removed?
Am new in beekeeping. Was looking for beekeeping related information. Thanks for the post!
