Had to place a hive away from my other bees while I dealt with a heavy mite load. Now that they are clean, I can move them a few feet each day so the foragers won’t have trouble finding their way back home.

Jane’s crew was ready for their morning snack. Gypsy’s bunch wasn’t opposed to getting some calf manna either.
