Hive examination

3/23/2015

Today I went to the Apiary to see what I could see. I was dissapointed  that at least two hives had no sign of Queen bees. After careful inspection I could not see any eggs either.  No brood, no queen cells, no queen. 
It is much too early to order queens for this area, so  I   am going into some healthy hives in order to pull frames of day old brood and put them in the "queen-less" hives in hopes that they will "pull" a queen cell and give them selves a new queen. If they have not started working on this with in a week or so, I will have to hope for the best till I can order a new queen for the  hives. 
Below are some pictures of queens, queen cells and brood:

Spring is nearly here!

PictureLast fall the Parson enjoyed harvesting honey from the Apiary.
Even though  Spring has not officially  "Sprung" yet, there are already signs of spring in the air:  grass is starting to green, and we had a hen become broody  recently and she hatched off several  chicks. The rain has been non stop for the past few days, so I imagine that to mean we are  getting closer to warm weather! 
There is so much to be done around the Manor, and I hope to share most of our successes and failures with you this year.
