Today was a very nice sunny/81F. It rained last night some time so all the hives got of to a slow start this morning. I guess they don't like the landing strip wet ( lol ). Both hives are bringing in lots of pollen still.
Plants in bloom:
Squash is in bloom and I seen lots on bees on them today.
Tomato is in bloom now also.
Hive "A" has taken down a 1/2 gallon of sugar syrup in the last 15 hours so I guess they are building a lot of comb. I'm not going to open them up and inspect them this week.
Last week they still had plenty of frames to draw out (3 frames untouched, "plastic foundation").
Hive "A-1" sure has a lot of bees for NOT having a queen so I'm going to open them up and take a closer and frame by frame look unless I see open brood or eggs first. I sure hope there is a queen in there. They have slowed down their take on the sugar syrup in the last day.
