16 October, 2010 - 2 pm

It was 81º, clear skies and breezy at the Bee Yard.

Swarm Hive & Beta Hive
Put a Apiguard patch in between the honey super and the top hive body. I hope this will help with the varroa mites. I did not go through and do a hive inspection this visit.

Alpha Hive
Harvested 7 frames of honey from the top honey super. Now the hive only has one honey super installed and that will be removed before the weather gets too cold. I did not do a hive inspection during this visit.

Honey Harvest was just over 21 pounds from the 7 frames. I will bottle it tomorrow!
