The Bees at Pondview Farm. Pondview Farm Home Page. Pondview Farm Facebook Page. Saturday, April 27, 2013. First Spring Hive Check. Well, it's a beautiful spring day, and time to open up the hive after the winter and see how everything looks. I know my bees have been doing well, as I have checked the hive a few time through the winter, but it's only been an open the top cover and peer in, kind of thing. Today I did a thorough inspection of both deep boxes, and could not be happier with my girls. Sorry fo...

This photo shows a frame full of capped honey. We made the switch into the new box, and put the box with brood and honey on the bottom, put the box with mostly honey on top of it, and then added a smaller size super with 2-3 frames of honey that they will continue to work on, bringing it down into the lower box to eat this winter.

The Bees at Pondview Farm: November 2012

The Bees at Pondview Farm. Pondview Farm Home Page. Pondview Farm Facebook Page. Sunday, November 11, 2012. The sun warmed the hive so much today that the the bees have ventured out for the afternoon. This will probably be one of their last flights before they enter their winter cluster. Last month, I gave the bees some extra food in the form of 2:1 sugar syrup. So, the first order of business is to remove the feeder from the hive. The top bar hive is all buttoned up and ready for the worst old man winte...

The Bees at Pondview Farm. Pondview Farm Home Page. Pondview Farm Facebook Page. Sunday, June 9, 2013. It's been a very busy spring here at Pondview Farm! Orientation flights occur when bees graduate from being house bees to foragers. They emerge from the hive in a huge cloud and fly in ever expanding figure eight patterns in front of the hive until they have their bearings, then they take off and start foraging. Then, we set up a "nuc box", which is just a small hive box with five frames in it. That is,...
