Haven't posted in a while, lots of irons in the this year. Had to cut back on checking my hives during the last month due to the heat. Boy triple digit weather really slows me down, all I've done is check the trays and peek inside the tops. Got a chance to do a complete inspection and the hives are doing well. Had to move a nuc tower over into a deep which brings my little yard up to five hives. That's about as big as I want to go as a hobbyist. Still need to pull some honey to make room for the Brazilian Pepper flow which is right around the corner.
Found this year that it's easier to make queens than buying them and having them not being accepted. Lost all my store bought queens within a month of being introduced but was able to have the nucs make their own. Beside that it been pretty quite with a lot of rain. Hope everybody has had a good year so far. Think this nuc tower got a little crowded, ended up moving it into a double deep.
