“Nobody can describe a fool to the life, without much patient self-inspection” Frank Moore Colby

Partial Inspection: Day 11

Time: 9:00 am

Weather: 76

Blooming: Roses, Dewberry

Combs: Comb on Bars 1, 2, 3, 4 and all straight. Worker brood capped two or three inches at top on bars 3 and 4 so queen is laying.
Plan on different timing, opening up the hive this time got them really irritated. Didn’t pull first bar because they were already really really angry.

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 and laying.

Celebratory Beer: N/A – do that later.
