Working Girls

Unbelievably Hot has finally passed, and its cooled off a little. Despite the intense heat and drought this summer, hive inspection revealed that the girls put up plenty of honey. Where do they get the nectar? Normally there is an abundance of white clover and blackberry for them to work. This year it's just a mystery.

You can see a frame of capped honey below. During a good flow the girls can fill several of those daily; they add up pretty quick. There eight of those Frames in each box. One box weighs about fifty pounds and will pretty well fill up a 5 gallon bucket.

There's a link to a little bee movie I just took today too.
