I had help in my beeyard today! A friend wanted to learn about top bar hives. I shifted into “Teacher Mode” and explained everything as best I could. Not only is this a great honeycomb, but I love that I managed to catch a bee flying straight towards my camera! See it above the tire?
We harvested just a couple of combs from my Golden Hive and Beebylon, but ignored the mean girls in Messopotamia! I should go back and pull some of the older dark comb from these two today and dive in to Messopotamia and see if they *have* made a mess this year… but not today!
Today we learned and laughed and our reward was SWEET!
Very sweet! I haven’t done anything with top bar hives, but am intrigued.
yummy reward.
Your determination as a bee keeper is paying off nicely!
