First Hive Inspection

The Droogies had been in their new joints for 4 days and so it was time to take a look to see if the queens had been released. Both of them had consumed all of the sugar syrup within the first 24 hours, and so I had replenished the feeders to give them more for the weekend. Both jars were completely empty when I went back on Monday- those are some hungry bees!

The queens had been released in both hives. Both hives have drawn out wax on about 6 of the frames. The comb in Droogie 1 was especially beautiful in its natural shape.
