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.
