My Mother's Day Hive was starting to really show some strength :) They were happy in their new hive which I placed facing South East to give them maximum morning sun. As I opened up their hive and looked into the deep, my little girls were very calm. This hive was a "sister" to my Scotts Valley hive, which was also very calm.
They had built out all the deep foundation with honey comb and it was time to place one of the honey medium boxes on top to allow them to start collecting nectar for their Winter pantry. Since this hive swarmed in mid-May I didn't plan on removing any honey from their hive. All the honey they made, they would eat thru the Winter. Honey bees create heat by shivering their wing muscles.
