It has been kind of a slow start for the bees this year. I'm not sure why. We have had to replace one queen already (need to check her this Thursday to make sure she's out). Other hives are developing but slowly. We have put supers on three of the five hives now, though, and will add one to a fourth soon.
Meanwhile all the hives appear to remain healthy if not extremely populous yet. Most importantly, the mite issue with hive #1 seems to be under control. Powdered sugar is the cure -- completely safe and organic, yet effective!
