#apiaryinspection

Yesterday morning, I was visited by the county apiary inspector and state entomologist. When you register your apiaries with the state, you agree to being inspected but it's possible to go years without ever seeing the inspector. I got to meet him my second year! Both were very nice and we had a good chat. it was quick and painless. I also took the chance to take some pics of this gorgeous frame of brood from my Saskatraz queen. ❤ #apiaryinspection #beekeeping #babybees #homesteadhensandhoneypod #homesteading (at Portage Lakes, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBN21A9nd3n/?igshid=dj9z3lwkppwj

@kayllans_honey #ApiaryManagement Cleaning one of the hives after finding out, the bees had absconded. Some typical causes of absconding would be; Loss of the queen, colony collapse disorder (CCD), Weak colony that’s not able to fend for themselves food wise, pests... #Beekeeping #Apiculture #ApiaryInspection #Apiary #Bees #Honey #Asali #Kayllan’sHoney #Organic #UnbeelievablyGood https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ISiz1gRda/?igshid=16s78e9v2sf05
