Third inspection went really well! 6-22-2011. I think I am finally getting the hang of this! I has added the second deep (another hive body) last inspection to hive 2, but hive 1 just was not ready for it yet. Once each of the frames have been drawn out (some say at least 9/10 frames) you add the second "story" to the bee hive house. That is for the bees to use to make and store honey for winter use, to raise their babies , etc..Anything I put on after the two deep hive bodies will be mine! YAHOO! Here is a picture to show that Hive 2 already with its second deep on...
Everything looked great in both hives. Hive 1 was ready for its second super as well. So we added that today. Tried to find the queen in hive 1 but was not able to. Travis immediately spotted her in Hive 2. He is the best queen spotter ever! Not sure how he does it! As soon as I pull a frame, he either says "There she is!" or "No". Amazing!!
Look at these beautiful frames! My bees are doing exactly as they were made to do. They are such incredible little creatures!
And we didn't get away this time without another sting...This time Big Travis got one right in the EAR! Ouch! Both he and Little Travis both got stung in extremely sensitive places...I still have yet to get stung...knock on wood!
