Beekeeping, social distance style

This weekend we checked in on our bees and we actually got to spend some time with Jill. We’ve all been self quarantining for what feels like forever, but we still made every effort to stay a safe distance from each other.

We learned, in this visit, that our walk-away split seems to have taken (we saw eggs and larvae, which means there is a queen) and that one of our hives that had over-wintered had way too much space and is weak. We’re working on helping them out.
