Holding in the Pattern at Le-Pige

Just couple of pictures i took today Sunday 22nd April. First one looks like an airport, they are in a holding pattern lol, second one is just trying different setting on my camera.

Le-Pige Full Hive Check

Checked the hive Le_Pige and the temperature was 13 Centigrade and time was 11:45am so I managed to go through the whole hive. Checked the super and stores coming in probably ½ the super with stores. Started on the brood box , 11 frames all showing brood, capped and stores I located the queen on frame 10 which I was pleased to see even though I have brood and knew she was about. Well the bees were really calm so no need to smoke them though I had smoker nearby, but just as I was finishing they did get the ump but that was my fault as one of the brood frames fell out of me hand and hit the brood box so apart from that well pleased with the day.

Honey Extracter

Brought meself a Honey Extracter saves asking to borrow as usually every one wants to use one at same time.
well pleased.

Le-Pige Hive

Weather hit and miss again but my Bees at Le-Pige doing well,

Reversed the Brood Box and Super and put the queen excluder on, apart from that did nothing else to hive.

Next big event is my second hive and bees will be here soon cannot wait, I have ordered from
LincsBee again ,
the bees are so calm but I will do a update later on my first years’ experience with my first hive.
