Time for a Serious Bee Check of All the Hives!

But it won't happen today. I added another box to the hive farthest from the road. They are the mama hive of all the others and really needed it. We can't do anything else until we get more foundation for the boxes. I have some coming today, enough for two more boxes and I have more ordered from Dadant, but I'm not sure when that will come. It's a little frustrating that the local bee store had no frames made up and he wasn't sure when he was going to get to it. So we are doing the best we can at present. Hopefully on Wednesday we'll have the supplies we need and can add boxes to some of the other hives and do a queen check on the split we made six weeks ago. They should have a laying queen.
