Temperatures today were very nice, above 20°C! Very good activity near the hive even early in the morning!
Color of pollen being brought in yellow and orange.
The BuzzBox app shows a healthy hive @10:30
I received some brood today on Dadant frames. The length of the ears on the frames fit mine, but the frames themselves were a bit longer so they didn't fit in my boxes. I had to make a split decision since I had to leave shortly after receiving the brood in the 6-frame polystyrene nucleus. The nuc itself fitted nice on my hives apart from it being 3 frames to narrow. I put it on top of my open hive and covered the exposed bit with some plastic and sealed it of with a tile.
I tried calling the beekeeper that gave them to me but he didn't answer his phone.
Later in the day I decided I'd try to do cut-outs to fit the comb into my frames...
Want to know how that went? Stay tuned, a small report will come up next. For now you'll have to make do with a small bit of video:
