GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Re: What did you do in your Apiary/Bee yard today?
« Last post by Terri Yaki on Today at 02:43:46 pm »And another hive inspection is in the books. I have a couple of questions regarding this inspection. In the deep box, is that building of comb normal? They're not filling out the frames too well. And should a new colony like this be building practice queen cells? Was I wrong to just leave them there? And on a frame or two, for some reason I was unable to determine if it was honey or brood. That would be to the outside in the medium box. I ask about it in the video. It should be easy for me to determine but I wasn't able to.
Yesterday, I cut a new entrance blocker and gave them a second door on the other end of the porch and I installed it this morning at sunrise. Both openings are smaller than the large one was but combined, they have more room. They are slowly using the other door more as the day goes on.
Thanks
