Sunday overcast drizzle some rain some. Highs in the upper 50s.
So I found a spot to a quick peak.... with five hives that is no small feat. Starting with hive 5 furthest away the bees are OK and queen riģht. I haven't marked her but she was there. I eyeballed her. I also saw capped and uncapped brood....
Hive four I also eyeball ed the queen and she is marked.... blood capped and uncapped
Hive three also the same but I didn't spot the queen.
Hive two small cluster with some drone comb and some capped bròod. I will keep an eye on them..and do another inspection next weekend.
Hive one I did look inside seemed good and the slide out board had a bunch of pollen and wax plates.
Feeders on all five with sugar water..? Need a few more buckets (5 gallon) and a couple hundred pounds of sugar.....this will be a long summer.
