If anyone is interested, I just posted my first hive inspection video on YouTube. You can search it up under "Pacific Bee Boyz" 1st full hive inspection top bar. It was amazing! To see how much comb they made in 2.5 weeks and they already have capped brood as well as so many eggs and larvae. happy to report the hive is doing well and I haven't had to feed them yet since there are so many flowers still in bloom.
I have planted several pots of a local variety of daisies near their hive, which the bees seems to love. I also intend on planting Russian mammoth sunflowers as well as golden rod and many other flowers being recommended. If anyone has any recommendation for other types of flowers to plant, please let me know. Also, there is a giant pond nearby, should I still provide some kind of container or water source near the hive?
