Hey buddha,
That is a nice catch!!
I think your spidey-sense was on point. By the way, the roof on your TBH is rustic and cool.
It looks like a buttload of bees for that hive, is it crowded in there?

Hey there
Thanks. Im on holidays now and a friend is taking care for them. Basicly just checking if they are still flying in and out
I gave them 12 top bars of space + a few top bars inbetween the follower boards for the honey jar. I was thinking to expand the nest this friday to a full hive. They have 1/3 of the hive now.

Hey buddha,
The ed clark book rocks. You posted it on a different thread. Thanks
Really opened my eyes to the unseen processes happening in the hive.
What latitude are you located on? (Trying to compare our seasons)

[Che Guebuddha]

You are welcome

The latitude is;

My two TBHs are at this location now but I care for them only until October when this course ends. After that I will move with my wife to Denmark which is much warmer and much more humid and windy.
