Woo Hoo! Added ANOTHER Super!

Just took a gander out to the bee hives today and decided to take another "peek"! Gently opened the hive, and lo and behold...they filled out every (all 10 of them) frame in the medium super! Last time i checked was Last Thursday so in 4-5 days, they have completely filled the comb with honey. Still uncapped though. I added another medium super on top of that one! Can't wait for my first taste of honey from my very own hives this year!!!

I had to do it!!! I peeked!!!

I just had to check on the bees yesterday, just had too! You are not supposed to open the hives too often and I had just been in there a few days ago. But we had 95 degree weather for a few days and then it cooled down rapidly the next day to about 70 degrees. I was worried and just HAD to check on them....

They have made comb!! That is the best news ever! That means a "flow" is on and they are working their little butts off to bring as much nectar into the hive to make me some honey!! Yahooooo!!!
