Good stuff groves.
I worked through all of my hives today. Everything looked good other than I definitely need queens in 2 of my splits. I added honey supers to 4 hives, so I’m officially banking honey for 2022.
I stole the idea from a guy, but today I screwed cattle ear tags to each of my hives. Now they’ve got a number and a note of where each one came from….a split from hive 7, a swarm from 2021. It should be helpful in tracking what’s going on.
I did get a call for a swarm today. It was 20 miles away and 60’ up a maple tree. I was going to hang a swarm trap nearby but they bolted before I got there. I do have traps out and saw scout bees on 2 of those today. Won’t be long.
Going good for me so far. The best news is I ordered some bad ass ball caps with my logo on leather patches. They were delivered yesterday and they are cool.
