The Green Queen 🟩👑

Hi everyone,

I inspected both hives on Sunday. Hive B was doing very well. They have a lot of honey already and are starting to expand into the additional box I installed last time. And I spotted the queen that we marked a few months ago with a green dot. She seems to be doing well.

Hive A (the one that is still rebounding) is showing improvement. The population is stronger and I did observe baby bees at multiple stages (larvae and pupae). I did not see the queen, but given the presence of some young larvae, I can assume that she was there recently. Bee-Mentor Steve said I should quit worrying but suggested that I put out some sugar water for them.

My video editor put together a nice little montage from some clips from the last few months. The other person in the video is Steve, who came out to help me a few times.

Stay buzzy!
