Saving bees one backyard at a time
Just pulled 94 lbs (8 gallons) of delicious Belle Isle honey from Jillibees Apiary. This came from four of our seven hives in the apiary. We still need to go to our hosts and pull honey there as well.
Went on another bee hunt. Found the entrance outside the house. The best access is cutting out the wall inside the garage.
Cut out the wall inside the garage to vacuum out the bees and remove the comb.
The bees from Bryn Mawr are safe in Jillibees Apiary.
Three rescue hives have rebounded and have been placed in two host Apiaries.
Our girls are staying busy. While the drones are still flying, we decided to make more colonies. Queens Corner is now full and we are awaiting the bees to make new queens from the brood frames we took from our larger hives.
After two years, we finally ordered business cards and they have arrived.
