July 9, 2009 - 10:30am

It was about 85º, partly cloudy and slightly breezy at the Bee Yard.

Since I harvested the honey from the Alpha Hive I thought I would check on the honey supers to see how well the girls cleaned them. The top honey super was clean and there were a few hundred bees scattered amongst the frames repairing the comb that was damaged during the extraction process. I didn't check the bottom honey super, I'll do that Saturday.

I opened up the Beta hive and found that the top hive body is packed with bees. I think I should put a honey super on to give them something to do.
