12-10-15

What a wonderful day it has been. I had planned to check the bees yesterday however I noticed today was even going to be warmer. Little breezy but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Checked and fed all hives. Relaxing now with a cuppa coffee watching one of the hives in my back yard gobble up some of the surplus honey that was left over from the hive that died.
The girls eating on some winter patty at their entrance. This was at the orchard.
This is what both Vinyard hives looked like. Two left there.
From one hive in my backyard. Can't imagine what they're thinking except for it's Christmas!

12-6-15

 The girls popped their head out and are doing some cleansing flights I'm sure. Was able to open boxes at home and feed them, though they did have some left from over a month ago. One box had decent numbers coming to top when I opened the top cover however on the other I couldn't even see any in honey super on top. Hoping they are down below as I did see a few coming out of reducer. Hoping it isn't just being robbed. It's 48° and sunny.
