I love seeing them in the snow. Don't worry, they are staying warm in there.

The video doesn't do it justice, but the bees were very busy today. Will be time for a second harvest soon!

Had a little helper with inspections yesterday. She was too young to fly so I helped her back home when I was done.

Have to watch your step in the beeyard on days like today!

I've come to enjoy building equipment as much as beekeeping. This year I'm going to put some horizontal hives into production. Here is a video of one I built over the winter in preparation for this season.

Standard horizontal hive with modifications to use the same winterization setup I use on my Langstroth hives.

It's good to get some spring inspections done. The hives I was able to get into looked great. Found and marked queens, all had good laying patterns for this time of year.
