I haven’t mentioned them in a while, but Rachael and my bees are doing fantastic! I am very excited to say that the first colony that we had purchased from the store last year is growing so fast that we had to add a third level to their structure. I pulled out one frame that was filled to capacity with capped honey! I was a little worried about this colony in the Spring since it seemed to be rather slow and not very active, while the swarm we had acquired late last Summer was very active. Well she has come back full force and we couldn’t be more excited! I am certain we will have a good amount of honey this year to make Christmas gifts.
