It was about 60º at the bee yard today. The skies were clear and it there was a slight breeze.

Alpha Hive

Replaced the feeder jar today, old jar was empty. There was a lot of activity around the front of the hive and the entrance. The bees were bringing in a lot of pollen. While watching the entrance area I noticed a bee walking around the landing area with deformed wings...

Beta Hive

The feeder jar had one cup of fluid left, but I replaced it anyways. The bees also bringing in a lot of pollen. Beta Hive also is very active, there were a lot of bees in the air. I happened to see a drone land and crawl into the hive.

Took some pictures and movies, will post when Blogger is working correctly.

Still feeding the bees sugar water, just haven't been logging the times. The jars are being replaced every 3-5 days.

Hopefully today I will visit the bee yard to check on the bees.
