Bees!

Swarm cluster

Swarm cluster

We hived a giant swarm!

They’re doing well in their new home, building out comb on the foundation. The queen is in good shape, laying eggs as soon as the workers finish the cells. The workers seem to be feeding pollen directly to the larvae rather than storing it, which makes perfect sense. They’re taking two quarts of 1:1 sugar water every day!

Either you already know what this is all about or you really don’t want to know.
