Summer is in full swing and our bee population is booming! With close to 1 million bees  at the manor, the air is full of excitement.

My Dad has been a huge help since he and Mother have moved on to the manor. We are thankful to have family so close.

Hive examination

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:
