I've actually checked on the bees at least three times since the last blog post, but didn't notice any difference since the previous post, and this time was no different. Hive A continues to show low to moderate activity while Hive B continues to consistently have lots of bees at the front entrance.
It seems like hive A might need a new queen and I'm looking into re-queening this fall. Hive B appears to be in pretty good shape and I doubt I'll mess with them too much. (BTW, I rarely get stung, but the guard bees in hive B did get me on the hand .... I will need to remember not to get into the bees without protective clothing from here on out).
