If the weather would just get over this high humidity thing called RAIN, we could battle the mites, the lack of room in the hive and swams.

No, really it's great to have the rain, I just got used to not having it so often.

It stayed above freezing last night so I think most of the apples will be fine. The bees are doing good, But this is my first hive so i don't really know what good looks live. When its warm and sunny they are flying in and out so i guess thats good. After 1 week I pulled the queen cage out and the bees were working on 3 frames. The next warm day I will be looking to see if the queen is laying. Hope I know what I'm looking at.
