Just wondering if anyone else is seeing significant amounts of nectar coming in to their hives?
Brood production has increased and the disposition of the bees is good.
I worked 50 colonies yesterday without a veil.
Brood production has increased in my hives and disposition of the bees is fair.
Not seeing a lot of nectar coming in, the weather in my area isn't cooperating.
Overcast, cloudy, showers.
I hope Fall weather isn't going to be a repeat of Spring!
I checked my hives this afternoon. I have russians and have been feeding but slacked off this week. The girls are bringing in enough nectar that they are filling frames in the upper deep. I have two deeps and a medium super on each hive. The medium is all sugar water honey, and all frames are capped. The deep has much darker nectar and capped honey.
The girls are also bringing in quite a bit of pollen. I have some nice pictures but cannot figure out how to post them.
checked yesterday (Monday) afternoon - feeders largely untouched since last feeding on Wednesday. Most of frames in top supers have significant honey in them and bees were too busy to pay much attention to me.
