It was 91º with a slight breeze and partly sunny at the backyard bee hive.
Back yard hive
Today marked the seventh day since the installation of the package bees. This was the first inspection of this hive.
The queen has been released. I did not find the queen but I did find eggs on two of the frames I inspected. There is pollen throughout the two frames and there is curing nectar as well. This hive looks like its off to a good start.
There are 3 and a half frames drawn at this time. The hive top feeder is full and the mixture looks good. I will do another inspection in one week.
