Checked on the Bees 3/4

HOWDY, ALL!!

Geek3, Geek2, and I opened up the hive on Sunday (March 4th) to check on the hive and see how it is doing.  MAN!!  There were a bunch of bees in there! 

 There were 2 beetles in the trap. 

We did see one more beetle crawling on a frame, and tried to get a picture, but I don't think we got it.  He didn't live long after his photo debut!

When we took them out of the duck box we brought as much of their comb as we could, and we took the RiteCell foundation out of some frames and tied in their comb with fishing line.  They have now secured their comb to the frames so that we can cut off the fishing line.

We cut the fishing line off one frame.  I am expecting we will cut it off the remaining frames this week.

We didn't see any cells with honey in them, but that didn't concern me too much since they are just getting started.
