Dad drove us down to Mathews today and we were able to check out the hive. It was really busy today. It looks like the bees are really starting to pack away the honey as several of the frames are getting very heavy. They're also starting to cap a bunch of the honey cells too. We were able to find the queen and even caught her on video tape. Unfortunately we had a mishap as the queen flew off the frame. Video is below. Also, for the very first time since starting beekeeping I got stung. Not bad at all and smoking the sting worked like a charm as I was able to go right back and close up the hive.
