A new suit

Alex has been waiting to use his new bee suit that he got from his birthday. We finally had cooler weather and enough time to get out and check our bees.

Honey super I put on on the July 16th is almost full!

Yeah!

Combination of brood and honeycomb.

Some drone cells can be seen here that protrude from comb.

Getting in close.

This is nothin'!

Oh yeah, this is fun. Look I can touch the hive now.

Jackson has been a little tentative approaching the hives in the past.

Not so this morning after he put the suit on.

I can even hold the comb with bees. How exciting!

A little sweaty but had a lot of fun.

Alex snapped a couple of me attending to the bees. This day, I switched some of the frames around.

Copious amounts of honey

Visited bees this morning. Many frames are full of honey. I switched those with outside frames with hardly any comb built on them. Did not see any brood or eggs which makes me nervous but I only checked a handful of frames.
