April 1 2018 - Hive Check


So this is small Hive small Nook, Hive small Nook, Hive small neck, hi Vis I go through. It looks like the Nook that I moved Michelle's Queen into first of all I should say all of the hives are very calm can't really explain why but the Nook that I made on March 17th and I took the old yellow Queen and put it in there on April 1st it seems to be doing well enough to move to a full Hive box. The 10 frame Hive that I had taken that Queen out of and moved in the queen cells are left the queen sells others no capped brood no brood couldn't find any eggs but everything's come in there a lot of bees with three empty frames so I'm thinking that there is a new Queen in there
From the big Hive the big Hive today is calm. There's capped brood and a lot of drone there could be a laying worker but it was calm and I'm thinking that the queen that was made from the queen cells in there or the Pippin Queen rather should be active just not laying lots of eggs unless they're drone. The note that was made with the two queen cells on April 14th rib is April 17th knows April 4th because of the Pikmin Queen had one open Queen sell no eggs no larvae lots of food and was very calm. Tracy's hive looks pretty good. The Nook that was made from it has lots of bees but not a whole lot of anything else and almost all of the capped brood is open these six boxes are sitting in field of crimson clover and there seems to be quite a bit of food available Tracy's big hive has a good laying pattern although it's quite small and the population is okay there are also some undrawn out frames. I decided because of the size of the population to put a brood box on my old big Hive. That's the report for today. I should probably go back into everyone next weekend

I need a new lid for at least two Hive boxes. I should be driving around with two boxes ready to take the nooks as necessary. And I should have to Honey supers and queen excluders to put on the hives. That's what the month of April looks like.
