First hive check of 2021
3 years ago
22
A quick video about our first hive check this year. We looked for the queens - or at least the evidence that the queen is laying. We found larva in both hives. We did see that both hives had quite a bit of nectar. We're going to quit feeding both of them.
On one hive, I placed an old super from last year that has honey. I had to first clean off the wax moth damage and freeze the frames.
On the second hive, there was quite a bit of nectar as well. For that one, I took an old brood box from last year and placed it on the hive.
Kind of a free stylin' way to start the year. But if you never experiment and stick to a rigid process, you'll never learn anything new.
