The hived swarm (5 weeks) has 6 full combs now. The nuc from last year is FULL of bees. I checked them only because sometimes they seem less enthusiastic than the others. I saw lots of capped brood and some open and closed them back up.
Saw the first graduating class on the swarm hive do their orientation flights. :)
Waiting for the glass for the observation hive. Need to drill a hole in the wall by Thursday, hopefully so I can install bees this weekend.
It's DRY. The bees go out early and late, but I haven't figured out where. It's getting dry enough now that I don't know if the sweet clover is producing nectar. They're heading SW, so their hard to track.
