Great activity in the hives today! Plenty to forage in the neighborhood - dandelion, apple, pear, chestnut and rapeseed among much else blooming at the moment. Will probably need to add another super to both hives in a week or so.

The bees today. Very busy, pollen coming in, and the West hive having a traffic jam caused by a bunch of drones on the landing board.

I haven't seen any activity at the bait hive and the bees at the other empty hives seem to be off target and taking a break.

I made a deep Langstoth box, then I cut it in half and made two 5-frame nuc hives. 100% recycled wood except the frames shown. Painted with boiled linseed oil, the 'white' is zinc oxide mixed in, and the green is green iron oxide and zinc oxide mix. Migratory type covers, no inner. Cleat handles after it was painted so a dado could be cut so they could be glued. Glued and screwed throughout with some dowels to align the panel pieces. More in ALT.

The bees have mostly yellow pollen, and some bright orange and a mix of dirty colors but not a lot of that. The first drone bee spotted coming out of the West hive. A drone and a very light colored bee at the Center hive which has more darker bees. It really stands out.

Episode two hundred and seventy-one is up now! Today's song is Lover's Spit by Broken Social Scene.

I discuss the song's blunt language presenting its theme plainly, and the alternate version featuring the vocals of Feist.
