April , booming begining.
The spring has been a boomer of a season, the mild winter moved right on into an Indian summer, temps in 70's and 80's mid March, and plenty of pollen and nectar.
All hives have been growing, but last weekend when deciding to do a split we discovered a queenless hive, one of my Waynes bee hives had no new brood or eggs and a capped queen cell. Either they swarmed, or we damaged her on our last inspection. No matter, the bees are still working the hive well, and soon there will be a new queen.
All hives already have a new super on.
I also have a nuc on order for the 14th.
