Looks like they've been busy building comb, and we pulled a few outer frames to look closer...
And so we added the second hive body to give them more room to build and expand.
They were still very mellow and not too concerned with us humans, so long as we moved slowly and didn't shake things up.
All good for now...until the honey super goes on in July...Plus, yesterday the cat and I found a little friend in the cellar, hiding amongst the Market stuff:
Little Miss Garter Snake was trying to hide, but we got her and found her a more appropriate place to hang OUT...And have you seen that show on television that chronicles what would happen to the Earth once the humans are gone? Well, the plant growth would be swift, immediate, and engulfing for one thing...so we spent a little time battling back the beast:
Bill's green concord grapes were sucked under a year or more ago, and we liberated them! Always important to keep the DH happy...

Lookin' good in the bee yard!
I'm so glad it was you who found the snake and not me.
I watched that show. It's like that here already. I just fought back the beast in May and it's already time to do it again. If we don't keep at it the woods would take over our yard in less than a season.
Are you still thinking about one of Kristi's lambs? I am, I know I said no new additions...but I am very tempted. If you are, let me know and maybe we could do a combined trip of some sort. Email me at karamapstone@yahoo

It would be fun for us all to get together.
B+. I love it.
Kara- I think "thinking" is not the word..."dreaming" is more like it...I am trying to prime the DH...
