Michael unwrapped all three hives today and did his first full inspection of each hive.
This is our second winter on the farm but the first winter with the Bees.
Michael removed the cozy's from each hive, and checked for honey, pollen, and for brood. Michael did not spend to long on each hive as it was a little windy today on the farm. Two of the hives are situated just down a hill so they miss most of the wind but our third hive which was from a swarm is situated at the top of the hill.
All hives are looking really strong at present which is great news for Michaels first year as a beekeeper.
Ryan Stewart from Loyalist College Multi media course also was here today to film and take photos of Michael with the bees.
We are going to be adding an additional three hives to our yard this year.
