Not the best day to do a hive check -- damp and overcast -- but it's been 5-6 days since I was last in my hives and I really need to get in there to prevent swarming. Today I'll be looking for indications of that, and doing what I can to deter their urge to swarm, e.g. removing all swarm cups. Okay, let's see what's going on in there. And let's hope they're not angry! 😬

Welcome to my third year of keeping bees, where I plan to learn even more about raising pollinators and maybe even get a little honey in the process.
