It is so hot and humid today that the bees where speaking in spainish when I check the hive this evening.
The hive looked good. Lots of new larve in the second brood super- no activity that I could see in the Ross Rounds. I was glad to see larve in the upper chamber, as that tells me the queen is working both brood supers. The bees are starting produce propolis. Propolis is a glue like substance that they produce, it has a simliar appearance and texture to pine tar.
Since I am still feeding the bees sugar water, I did notice alot of drowned ants in the feeder. I need to ask NJEB (New Jersey Eddie Balough) if he is having problems with ants in the feeder. Overall everything looked good.
