July 9, 2005

This month was mostly a month of not doing to much.  I would spend a few days a month and visit the bees and make sure that they were still active and getting nectar.  I put together 5 medium honey supers and 50 frames with wax foundation.  I added 1 super to hive #1 and hive#2.  Hive #4 still had some open space and the bees were working on filling that space.  Hive #5 had an extra deep super that as about 1/2 draw out with wax and filled with nectar.  I didn't check on #3. 

Hive #1 is very aggressive. I think that they have raised their own queen.  I will need a new queen for this hive before the fall.
