Partial Inspection: Day 8

Weather: 79

Blooming: Roses, Dewberry

Combs: Comb on Bars 1, 2, 3 all straight. .  Large 6×6 on bar 1 , smaller 6×4 on bar 3. Removed empty queen cage, she’s wandering around somewhere.

No brood noticed, but only a partial inspection to confirm that comb is all straight, which it is. Lots of comb for only 8 days per the books. Still haven’t smoked (don’t have a smoked) but used the new bee suit. Haven’t been stung yet, haven’t even seen evidence that the suit has been stung. Have refilled the feeder once a day for the last 5 days or so

Swarming: N/A although they are bearding outside when it is warmer. When it’s cold they are stuffing themselves into the hive.

Queen Issues: None, she’s out but need to reinspect in two days to check.

Celebratory Beer: Abita Purple Haze, and Blood and Honey.
