It has been awhile since I have dug into the hive and so today was the big day. I needed to see if there was enough built out on the top box to add the queen excluder and add a honey super. This is a big step for me because this is where the bees finally start making some honey for me. In the video (see the link below) there is a lot of activity in the hive and most of the frames in the top box are built out.
It is amazing to me how much more comfortable I am now with the bees then just a few short months ago. what a blast. Now all I have to do is check the hive every couple of weeks to make sure that they are progressing and have enough room, if not I will add another box (more honey). This has been such a fun hobby and a great thing to do, especially if you lazy like me, the bees do all of the work and I just get to enjoy their work.
