Bee hives

[SamuraiCO]

Time for another check. Looking at how the hives are filling out the frames.

Numbers coming up but they are still pretty docile. I have yet to have to smoke them to calm them down. If my stronger hive has filled out their honey stores I will put on a honey super for our consumption. The wet, mild summer has the wild flowers really blooming.



Nice frame of capped honey.....mmmm. But that is their winter stores.



Capped honey on top, capped brood under. Queen still busy that is good.



I also got some plants at Tagaowa that are bee friendly. There was some lavender from my yard that have reseeded and I dug up. I plan on bringing out as much as I can between now and the end of the year and transplant as much of it as I can. Lavender makes such good tasting honey.
