ROZINA
70°F
Mostly Sunny
Calm
Rozina has lots of bees doing orientation flights lately. She should have plenty of emerging bees now. My biggest concern is if she has enough space to lay.
Opening her up it was nice to see the bees had finally finished the syrup. It was also nice to see no ants had found it. The ants did find the detritus in the closed off Screened Bottom Board though. Like i've said before, around here bees aren't that interested in Spring syrup. Rarely does it all get taken. Leaving me with jars of syrup in the fridge until Fall.
The top box was filled with seven frames of brood, some drone cells, and two nicely developed Queen cups in the swarm position. Neither of which had an egg in it. What i didn't see was any space for the queen to lay. The Pollen the bees are bringing in is the same color as the existing wax. Which looks like capped short worker cells. It could be the Yellow poplar which is now in bloom.
The Bottom box had several frames of newly laid eggs as the Queen has finally moved down. This brought many of the bees down too. Who are now working the frames. I was worried she might not ever drop down to this box since the whole colony went straight into the top box after the queen was released. Fortunately I found her down there too and marked her.
Not the biggest queen i've had but her brood pattern and productivity are good. She was on frame two which is an all honey edge frame. I believe she was looking for somewhere to lay but she had already filled up the available frames. So it's time for another box.
Added to the hive was another medium brood box. This box comes with
four filled honey frames and six not so drawn wax foundation frames.
All from previous dead-outs and what-not. The bees will need to finish
drawing out the middle frames for the queen to lay in them. To help out
i'm going to put yet another gallon of syrup on the bees. The flow
seems OK but some cool weather is on the way which might keep the bees
from doing much. They've not been encouraged to make much wax. I hope
this spurs them on. If so we could get some honey frames drawn later
on.
The overall population in the colony is up to OK from Fair. She has plenty of bees on every frame but does not cover the frame. By August her population should be High. The frames won't be visible and the Slatted Rack will be packed with bees.
