I love getting out to do our hive inspections. Being very new to bee keeping there is always a lot to learn by doing them. The lack of rain has not been kind to our bees. Three of our hives are doing really well and I’ll need to super them in the next couple of weeks, the other three are battling. With two having succumbed to the pressures that come with the drought. It is really testing on everything. Mignon got stung on the nose as an innocent bystander. It is really funny. I am unable to get photographic evidence. Also I can’t convince her I didn’t sting her #bannatyneslittlefarm #bees #hiveinspection https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs--zyUHjvy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=164mpllnlsypd

About 2 weeks ago I made a split from a hive that was getting ready to swarm. Did a hive inspection today and caught a newly emerged queen piping in the new split! #beekeeping #bees #hiveinspection #newqueen #hudsonvalley

Peaceful moments from today's hive inspection. #hiveinspection #beekeeping #bees #hudsonvalley

Hive five. I got to spot my first queen on one of her brood frames. AND I only got stung once. #queenbee #hivefive #hiveinspection

These bees are ready for spring! #beekeeping #bees #hiveinspection #hudsonvalley (at Taconic Outdoor Education Center)
