 Hello. So we extracted honey a while ago...



                                              Frames awaiting foundation.                                                  


                                         ...and more frames awaiting foundation.

 
                                                          Supers with frames.


                                    Bottom board with supers in the background.

                                                           Beehives...


And more beehives.

                                     

                                  Supers with frames of honey ready to be extracted....

                                                         We had a little snow...

 

The hives that lasted the winter.  

Since we went from about 27 hives, to a meager 17, we like to/have other sources of bees.

Look at what our Resident Bee-Keeper is doing today:


                              The backyard.  Beehive, bees, and Bee-Keeper - Oh, My!
 

     Our Resident Backyard Bee-Keeper - completely surrounded by bees, 
and at the same-time trying to deal with the swarm. Way to go!


Beehive. Can you see all those bees at the entrance?
