Hello all. So I think I started out with way to many bees for my first time around. I checked my hive for the second time. It seems like they have built enough honey for winter...at least in my "professional" opnion.
There was some pollin cells which looked nice. There was so patches of brood too. I did see some larvea and very few eggs. should I be worried about that?
I did not see the queen which I was really hoping to see. I know you are not supposed to see her each visit but it would have been nice to see her this time. Is there any trick for finding the queen (execpt marking her)? I do not think I used to much smoke this time around... but again... thats my "professional" opinion.
So, I guess they are doing good. I put a bucket feed on them this time rather then using the zip lock method. I hope they are ok and with a queen.
any advice?
