Yesterday I checked on the Backyard bees. I looked through the top honey super and found frames 4, 5 and 6 ready for harvest. The rest of the frames have honey in them and are slowly being capped. The bottom honey super has a lot of bees but not much storage going on. I looked through frames 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the top hive body. I found fresh eggs as well as larva and capped brood. I didn't inspect any further.
Today
Backyard Bees
At about 1:30pm there was a few thousand bees swirling around in front of the hive. It really looked like the start of a swarm. But then the bees settled back on the hive and went inside. There were still hundreds of bees doing orientation flights for awhile but none of the swarmlike activity.
