Fourth Bee Check

Beekeepers Michael (left) and Glenn (right)


Michael caught a picture of the ladies landing;
two have entirely full pollen baskets.

Hive #2 (closest to the farm house) has six supercedure
cells. One appears to have hatched. This week, the
hive seemed less aggressive and more interested
in contributing to their own little community.

Michael removes wax the girls have constructed on the lid.

Scattershot pattern...apparently capped sugar water
We see no larvae here. A brown pollen patty sits
on top of the frames.
