Partial Inspection: Day 79
Time: 10:30am
Weather: 82
Blooming: Nothing that I really noted.
Combs:
After the party we threw and another “lost weekend” before that, it had been a while since I opened the hive. I opened it, and to my horror, I had cross-comb! *gasp*
It was my own damn fault really. 6 bars of wavy comb. I added too many bars in a row and they didn’t keep straight. Damn organic really. The smoker came in super handy.
Sooooo…..I took my handy dandy beehive tool and scraped straight down on the comb, straightening out the comb. A veritable FLOOD of honey drowned the hive. Bad, baaad beekeeper.
They were not amused (below), but they were back to normal the following day. Not sure about the internals, will have to fire the smoker up again and check out the bars and make sure I fixed it “right”.
