Both boxes are flying, both are bringing in pollen, the one on the right looks a lot stronger. There are plenty of drones around. The new box on the left is heavier. Don't have time to go in them today, need some time to spend an hour to with them. Still feeding a light syrup.
However, who says bees don't work red crimson clover?
Hope to spend a couple of hours with them next Saturday afternoon.
May even do an additional split.
When I started, I thought,"This will be a year in my life, with bees." I would chronicle all the steps and stages, all the trials and tribulation. It would bee my journal and outlet as well as my record of beekeeping. That was February. Now, on the other side of summer, it's October. One of the hives has been slimed by small hive beetles. The ladies have absconded. Perhaps, by keeping a closer journal, I -- and perhaps you, dear reader -- will learn more about beekeeping in North Florida.
