Last summer was our first summer keeping bees. We were told to leave the honey from the first summer for the bees to eat over their first winter, so that’s exactly what we did. One of our two hives survived.
Yesterday we did a hive inspection of the living hive and they are bursting at the seems! They were building in between the frames and cramming every nook and cranny they could find, according to my husband.
We added another super on top to give them space, but now I’m wondering if we should harvest the honey leftover from the winter so they have more room to keep building over the summer? This is our huge, over active, very productive wild swarm we caught last year. They’re such hard workers. We’re so proud of them.
