Indian Summer

Visited colony today on this 76 degree day. Looking good and certainly had good energy as they swarmed me without smoking them as I opened the top lid. Supplemented their honey with sugar water. Looks like weather will be changing. Could be awhile until the next time I open the supers.

Winter Ready

Wrapped the colony last weekend before the cold spell. Used Tyvek because I couldn't find my tar paper that I thought I had. Oh, and got my first sting. It only took 7 months. Surprised that one got me through my jeans, but I was bending down and they were taught on my thigh. Also added a top spacer board so when I need to add supplemental sugar I could without an extra larger space of another super.
