Waking up for Spring

Everything we need for two new hives this year.

Sugar! The girls are just going crazy for it! Both hives have tunneled through the sugar, and are so busy packing it away.

She just wanted to say hello. She sat on Mom's hat for a little while before flying off.

Once we opened the lids and added more bee candy, the activity in the hives just skyrocketed. This hive as the hive we had determined was the weaker of the two.. But they're actually eating just as much sugar as the hive we thought was stronger. They were both equally active today!

Such busy little girls.

I can't wait for spring. We're ordering enough bees/hives for about 6 new hives this year, so hopefully it should be a honey year for us. Crossing our fingers!
