The new apiary is getting full. I had to pull the bait hive down that I had just put back up to take 4 frames out of but I only had 9 total so I had to glue up 5 frames then I reset the bait hive and added the 10th to the deep box and closed it up with a jar of food this evening. It's all on bare foundation freshly waxed. I kept two drawn frames in the bait hive to increase the chance of catching another swarm I don't need.

#NSW police are appealing for information after dozens of #beehives were stolen from a property in the state’s Northern Tablelands.
The beehives – 80 boxes in total, worth about $150,000 – were taken some time between 31 March & 6 May from a rural property about 15km west of #Bonshaw village, 100km from #GlenInnes.
The boxes are described as cream in colour with blue baseboards, blue and white lids and red, clear boards. They were full of #bee colonies. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

The scene of the new beehive location. It's a little sunny in the morning, then shady underneath the white spruce tree (yes, it shoudn't grow here), and then a few hours of blazing hot sun in the afternoon. It's probably not colder in the winter but more exposed to any north wind. This will only be for new hives, too close to move existing ones easily.

The new hive emptied the feeder so I checked on their progress. 6 frames of comb built it looked like all the way to one side. I mixed up some oxalic acid and glycerin and put some OAE pads on it too. There's a bit of a flow now so I probably won't feed anymore and I'll put another box on next week if they have the last few frames built out.

Honey from Melania Trump's White House beehive was used for a special dessert at the state dinner for King Charles. This is the first time honey from the expanded apiary has been used for such a high-profile event.

Since they are consuming it so fast I switched to honey at 1:1. This is two hours elapsed.

I decided to put a feeder on the new hive and they've consumed almost 400 grams of sugar in 15 hours. Randy Oliver says it takes 600g of sugar to build one deep frame of comb. It will be 5 days today since they were put in the box.

The new hive with the caught swarm has pollen going in and the bait hive might be back to scout bees and no robbing.

The captured bees seem to be doing bee things as it warms up. I peaked in the top deep around 9 am and there were no bees up in there so I took it off and there was no drama. It looked like they were clustered up into 3-4 frames but it's just waxed foundation so I guess there's lots of room in that space.

This same hive swarmed at the same degree days last year and it's not even the same bees unless the swarm I caught and put in the box was from there originally.
My bee log entry last night:
"Last year: April 23, 2025 107.4 + 184.9 = 292.3 Blossom degrees
Swarm day, West hive, might have been a fire drill,, but that meant queen flying.""Apr 18, 2026 Feb 8.5 + Mar 145.9 = 154.4 + 150.5 = 304.9 Blossom degrees"

One of the hives swarmed today and it was low enough in a tree I could catch it while standing 7 feet up on a ladder with a fiberglass pole I modified. Once most of the bees were caught the weight couldn't be held vertical and then I heard a crack from the pole I let it go and landed on my roof. I got them in an empty hive before dark.
