Ooof, its hot! Our ladies are hanging outside and trying to stay cool in this ridiculous heat 🔥
Saturday morning hive check at Edgewood Hives. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and its one of those miraculous days where you can smell the ocean breeze even though it's 6.5 miles away.. Life is good ❤
After our largest and most productive hive swarmed in late May we made several new splits from the bees that were left behind. This particular hive was given a queen cell, honey, pollen, and several frames of larva, and these ladies immediately got to work establishing a new hive. Their new queen hatched several weeks ago, flew off to mate, and has since made it back safely. This new young queen is performing beautifully and is well on her way to being one of our strongest new hives. I currently call them the clover hive ( just because there's a large patch of clover growing directly below them.. which is not very original, I know..) but now that she's established and thriving, we feel it's time she gets an official name of her own. Facebook decided long ago that if I don't post updates regularly my posts will no longer be a priority in your feed. So, if you're seeing this, I want you to know that we appreciate you. It means that you visit our page and either like, comment, or interact regularly..and that means the world to us. If you're seeing this post, thank you. To show my appreciation I'd like to give you the opportunity to name our newest and most prolific hive. Just comment below and let me know what you think. Name it after yourself, a loved one, or anything else you think might be appropriate, and we'll pick our favorite next week. Thank you again, friends. We appreciate you all so much, and I look forward to hearing all your ideas ❤
This peculiar behavior is called washboarding. We're not sure why they do this or what the purpose is, but everyone is happy and content..so hey, that's good enough for me 💛🐝💛
😅 I realize this is a long shot..but if you're the lucky recipient of the massive swarm of bees that just took off from my yard, please reach out and I'll gladly come and get them
