After all the fires and smoke I was really worried about my sweet bees. The past couple years of fires have driven out a lot of bees, and many beekeepers had lost half if not all of their hives. It’s been devastating. Before this last fire, my partner in crime and I did a hive inspection on the swarm I caught, and were delighted to find that they were strong, and VERY productive. The top super was filled with honey. It was a beautiful thing. Once the fires started they wouldn’t come out of the bee box, and it was looking rather sad. Now that they air is much clearer, and the sun is out, and they are back to work. There is so much activity that I am finding it hard not to add another level. The cold weather is right around the corner, so that extra space would just make them work that much harder to keep the hive at the right temperature all winter. That’s no good. I am so excited for Spring. I might even get some honey.
