After a week of watching and wondering it was time to check out the bees again!This weekend Adam helped out - the ladies had been really busy moving on to and drawing out more of the new frames- so much so that I took out the twelfth frame I had originally put in to fill space in the brood box. They had moved on to the one sided frame I had been concerned about and Birgit was dashing around. It was quite hot so we were fairly quick but even so we could see new eggs, larvae and a lot of capped brood. Today it is raining, which is good for the garden but hopefully there is still plenty of summer to come so the frames will keep filling to build up a strong colony!!
