Its been raining every day since last Saturday. Today it was partly cloudy and about 85º, little or no breeze...seemed like it was more humid than usual for this time of the year.
Alpha Hive.
Checked the honey super, and the girls have capped about 80% of all 10 frames! So by next Saturday the honey super should be ready for harvest.
The honey super had a lot of bees on the frames in areas where the cells were still exposed. I will be ordering a honey super to put on this hive for the fall.
I noticed that on the front of the hive there were large numbers of bees hanging out. Could be due to the high humidity or they did not have another super to work on....
Buttoned everything back up and walked away in amazement at how much honey this hive is storing.
Beta Hive
Also checked the honey super on this hive. All frames are filled with honey and the girls are just starting to cap. If things go well maybe in a week to two weeks this super will be capped and ready for harvest!
There were bees all over every frame in the super!
The front of the hive had a hundred or so bees hanging out, could be for cooling or lack of something do to....hmmm
