And A Baby?!?Castle Hives2026-04-03 | March 29th, what a day. I had secured 2 packages to help numbers, and not split as many colonies, and I found out I was now a Grandpa. . Baby Oakley was born a little early, but he is perfect.
For the Bees, they're starting to build up. I think overall the yard is going to expand out nicely. This is prep towards a busy Spring.
