The blue hive has a little beard tonight. 🐝🐝🐝 The population is at a peak, probably 40,000 - 50,000 bees, maybe more. I'm adding another super tomorrow, the basswood and mimosa trees are in full bloom and the girls are hitting them hard.
The yellow is still struggling but we're hoping another new queen of the specific Carniolan stock they are might help. Time will tell.
Have a good night! 🌃
