Today I moved the frames from two new nucs into new hives and fed them. I also did a quick inspection of the two hives from last year and finally have some honey on one of the supers! So we will likely be doing an Island honey extraction possibly over Fourth of July weekend.
Received word from Sarah Meacham that one of the established hives swarmed and is presumably off somewhere hunting for a new home. I can only hope it is not the Meserves, who had a swarm about 15 years ago from one of Vivian Russe's hives and were not too happy about it.
The swarm from last Labor Day that is in the Murray shed is doing quite well - we hope to get experienced help and cut this hive out and get into a hive, the last weekend of June.
