Hive Inspections - August 2020

Today we inspected the honey supers on both of our hives and changed the oil and beetle traps.  There were very few if any beetles present in either hive.  Both Brood boxes were fairly full and our First Super on Hive number 2 is being filled with honey on just about every frame.   The second Super on Hive number 1 which was installed approximately 3 weeks ago did not have any comb on it yet.

Once again we had our Guest Beekeeper Katherine join us for inspections.
