A Bee's (and Beekeeper's) Work is Never Done!

We are trying to keep one step ahead of "The Girls" so decided to check on them when the rain (as in days of rain!) stopped and the sun came out.

To prepare in advance for the hive exploration, we waxed frames for the MEDIUM SUPER.  The medium super is 6 5/8 inches (16.8 cm).  Again, 10 frames in each super.



The bees have been hard at work so we decided to add another super to each hive.  We want them to have enough room to grow.  Hopefully we aren't giving them too much room!




3 Supers deep!  2 deep and one medium! Now to celebrate Father's Day 2013!
