Hey there friend!!

LOL lord! Now that’s not a question I’ve ever had a patient or their parent ask! 😂

You really have to manage colonies well when you don’t want them to increase. I’ve been working hard to increase ours, so splitting every chance. But it does get to be some work!

Bee Math! Definitely a thing!

19 right including this iffy swarm.

We need rain here so bad, could use a decent fall flow!

Yes, if they don’t build up quick enough, I would squish a queen and combine them with another hive before winter. But I’m going to give these a shot, we still have a fall flow to go through here and with luck???

Yep! Now I have to go all the way through the hives and figure out where they came from

They really aren’t interested in stinging you unless they are protecting their hive. I love that you are planting for them!

Thanks! I added to my feeds

He’s waiting for a bee!

That is absolutely beautiful. Love the colors!
