| Date | Activity | Image | | 03/31/2012 | Just wanted to let you know Colten's bee package instillation went
well. He did great and he had a great time doing it. Val and I
definitely think he is hooked on Beekeeping. I attached a picture of
him removing the cork from the end of the queen cage. Weather
permitting I will head to Colten's on Wednesday evening to check on the
queen. Reported by Nigel Dawson

Nigel and I went into the hive Wednesday. The bees are starting to build comb. Also, there is 1 and a ½ frames of nectar and some pollen in the hive. Redish-orange pollen can be seen in the picture. The most exciting part is we
found the queen!! She has not laid eggs yet, but it was good seeing her moving around. Reported by Colten Hardesty

Nigel and I went into the hive today
and I saw that there was 2 and ½ frames of brood. I saw something that looked like a queen
cell in the hive.

| Click to enlarge | | 7/23/2012 | Nigel and I went into the hive today in over a month. I saw some brood, larva, but no eggs or no drones. I found the queen she looks good. I am feeding the bees now. They only have 2 frames of honey. We need rain!!!! We are 15 inches below average. Reported by Colten Hardesty | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
