Thursday night I checked on the hive. Hive is doing well. I did remove the feeder as the Bee Mentor reccomended. The brood supers are doing well. Lots of larve and new bees. Very pleased with the development of the hive. The second super has good activity on the frames and should the queen should start laying eggs in the top super soon. Although the brood supers are doing well, there is still no activity on the honey super (Ross Rounds) but that is expected. The bees are really consuming a large amount of water,as the weather has been hot.
Today at happy hour, I learned that my buddy "Bobcat Doug" is an experienced bee keeper. He kept bees during his tenure as the cucumber king of east NC, also learned that he droped a hive and was stung over a 100 times, and was bit by a shark. In all seriousness he really knows about the honey bee, and I will draw on his knowledge. Also learned that his co-worker Joy is allergic to gardenias.
