April 17 - Checking the Bees

Today was 47 degrees and sunny, and we checked the bees at 11 am.  We didn't spot either queen this week. Both hives had eggs, larvae, and capped brood.  Only added 1/4-1/3 pail of syrup to Penelobee's.  They are still cleaning out the honey we left from last year's bees.  We scooted some bee clusters towards the center and flanked them with 2 honey frames that were out of reach.  Didn't see pollen coming in...they are eating the patties and building some new comb!
