Time to check out the nucleus colony at Waxwings- last time we looked things were promising. Well today it looked just as we had hoped. With an interested audience the inspection went brilliantly. The bees were calm, the frames were how the books say they show be- honey arch, pollen and both capped and uncapped brood- all looking healthy and thriving. There were eggs on two frames and two others were being drawn. Our only concern last time was the bad weather and if there would be enough forage for the next week, but the bees looked busy enough and weather looks ok for foraging, so here's hoping this little colony goes from strength to strength!
( The only thing we forgot was to take any pics! Next time we will remember!!)
