Went strawberry picking yesterday am. Reaping the benefits of bee pollination. They were very sweet and early because of our early hot weather. Then I put shallow supers on both these hives yesterday for honey. The hive on the left had comb built on most the the 10 frames in the top box so they are really ready to store honey. The right side hive is closer to what I would expect after 2 weeks. I am sure they will catch up by fall. There is usually a down time in honey production in July until the fall flowers come into bloom. A honey-loaded shallow super weighs 40 lbs.
First sting of the year on my wrist- she got caught up in the cuff of my glove. Poor girl! Tried taking 2 Benydryl right away and it didn't itch as bad but it still is swollen. I really need to figure out this hyper reaction.
