Hmm, Cornell says our honey sample (out of the pesticide killed hive) is clean. 100% clean.

Zero pesticides detected out of 96 tested.

Good news. Found a tree full of bees, foraging blossoms today in the neighborhood. So, must be some recovery in populations here after that pesticide event. #beekeping
And again! #bees #beekeping

Do I get a raising queens badge or something when the queen cell that got removed hatches?

I saw bee messing around by the queen cells after I came back from sting triage then looked again and noticed it was a queen. It fell off the top of the hive, got caught up in a couple of spiderwebs under the other hive, then fell to the ground where I caught it.

I marked her and put her in the 1st nuc.

Hur fungerar en sån här?
How does this work?

#biodling #beekeping

I can't get over the fact that my property is just a few feet too narrow to keep bees per #seattle city ordinance. I had gotten so pumped to learn a new #beekeping hobby and make #mead out of the honey, but hives have to be 25 feet from the fence. Just heartbreaking stuff for me and all the plants around.
Hmm, was going to move a hive of bees to an empty spot, and a swarm moved into the empty box there in the last day or so, LOL. We are about to tip from "not enough bees" to "too many bees" once again. #beekeping
Prepping for the upcoming #beekeping season with some new hive boxes.
Good morning! Some flowers and an antique beehive for you to enjoy. Don't give up on spring 🌼!
