7-25-2013 Hive Check

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).
