My Little Beekeeper!


Today Ivy joined me in restructuring our hives! The big hive on the
left decided to swarm before I could proactively prevent them from
doing so, so we combined part of that hive into the middle hive. We
took one super from the hive that swarmed and put it on our strongest
hive, the one on the right, and put everything back together.

Right now, the hive on the left and the hive in the middle are
queenless. I have new queen's coming on Wednesday, and will put them
in. By then, I should see lots of queen cells where the hives are
trying to rewrite a new one. With the new Queens, the hives should
except them well!
