2011 bees pulse check
Temperature was around 55 and it was perfect weather to check on bees. Even I did not have time to actual open hive and do a detail inspection, I was able to check under the top cover to see what is going on. I see bees flying from all of the hive. 3 out of 5 hive are doing very well so I assume they are very strong. Two hives are much-much weaker. In week colonies bees are only on 2 - 4 frames while in strong hive i saw bees are on 6-7. Also, I noticed new white combs at the top part of the frames, so I believe some nectar is coming in and queen is laing eggs.
