We did our first inspection yesterday since installing the nucs a week ago. We woke up like it was Christmas morning. We are still so excited about these amazing creatures and bringing them to our home.
We have two hives: Pooh’s Thotful Spot and Flower Power.
🌼Flower Power🌼 is the smaller of the two. They hadn’t drawn any comb on the new frames, but they had definitely continued work everywhere else. There was plenty of larvae in all stages and lots of food being stored. They didn’t finish the syrup we provided. They were so chill too!
🍯Pooh’s Thotful Spot🍯 is so strong. They had started to draw out comb on two new frames. There was tons of food and larvae. We got to feel to weight of a truly packed frame and it was so cool! They were a bit more temperamental as well. 😂
Overall, it was a good experience. I had my handy dandy book with me and I referred to it several times with questions.
Can’t wait to see them again soon!
In one picture can you spot the queen?! 🐝 🐝 🐝
