Maybe free bees? if they're not the swarm from 5 days ago which would be unlikely unless they didn't like their first pick of a new home. The bait hive was very active yesterday, then it wasn't at all, then before dark it was really active again and some looking like they'd spend the night. This morning when I looked it was busy again so I put the GoPro up.

Bei den #Bienen sieht es richtig gut aus. Einem Volk habe ich den 2. Honigraum gegeben. Das andere konnte ich mangels Zargen nicht umziehen.
Der #Buckfast Ableger "explodiert" förmlich und hat auch einen Honigraum bekommen. Der eingefangene #Schwarm hat alle Mittelwände ausgebaut und hat ebenfalls einen Honigraum bekommen.Es geht ganz gut los mit den #Bienen.

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.

Nicht ganz freiwillig, aber mit Erfolg: da einer meiner Honigeimer angefangen hat auszuzuckern, habe ich mal drei Tage gerührt. Also natürlich nicht dauernd, sondern jeweils ca. 10min.
Deshalb gibt es jetzt zum ersten Mal cremigen Honig. Ja, ich weiß, das macht man als Profi anders, aber ich bin Amateur und mache das als Hobby 😄
Meine Familie hat sich gefreut, dass ist die Hauptsache.

After putting in 8 hrs at the office, I spent 3 hours cutting the top 40ft/12.19m plus off this dead tree leaving a 15ft stump to mount my swarm box. Now I just need good weather and another curious group of scout bees to show up. It's prime swarming season now, hopefully we get lucky.
Have a wonderful evening! 🌆

My Frankenstein swarm trap might have a swarm in it, but a tornado producing storm cell is about 10 minutes out. So I threw a ratchet strap over it to the shed roof and I'm crossing my fingers. I'm not sure there is but Melissa observed 50+ bees around it so I'm securing it.
Stay safe everyone!

via PSEMA: "Apiary losses: CNMI lost an estimated 80% of its bee colonies. Bee boxes, pollen patties, and synthetic pollen are among identified needs; a local Guam organization is preparing to donate small colonies to assist with repopulation." #SuperTyphoonSinlaku #beekeeping #guam

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.

Put some fresh beeswax on some foundation today.

The bait hive is busy this afternoon. Seems like a little fighting going on so must not be from the same hive. Could be some robbing but there's a lot of coming and going too. There was still some honey in some of the old comb put in here.
-
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.

The first scout bee observed at the bait hive. 15:53 local daylight time, 60F/15C, sunny, light breeze.
It was the only bee from 13:30 - 16:30. Weather is turning warmer so maybe there will be more activity in the coming week.

Random question for the Fediverse. can anyone recommend a refrasctometer for measuring sugar content (Brix), the use is for measuring honey (17-18%). But would be great if it could be used for beer/wine/alcohol making etc. (which I believe is a different percentage) #refractometer #beekeeping #winemaking #equipment

Guess what!
I am officially in the world of beekeeping! 🐝
My dad has been a beekeeper my whole life, and he gave me an empty bee box. A wild swarm of honeybees was on my property and we have safely got the queen and the other bees into the box 🌷My next order of business is to plant flowers

Almost all the spots in my greenhouse are planted now. We've been eating spinach, green onions and flat leaf parsley (well those all winter), radishes and little turnips for weeks now.
The hens are picking up the egg laying and the 6 new pullets are now fully integrated and peace is descending on the coop and run.
The bees are good with high quality pollen patties and some syrup to keep them going until all the dandelions and maple buds are out.
The garlic is huge and the shelling pea fence is up, just waiting for a warmer day to plant.
It's hella windy and I lit the fire again today but it feels good and spring-like outside.
The world is in chaos and yet She persists. Southern BC interior is beautiful.

The East hive. This would technically be the oldest hive since the OG queen moved here with a split, or maybe after I caught a queen wandering around after the split which I suspect was the old queen since I probably split them days before they would have swarmed or she couldn't fly good enough to swarm.. whatever, she was here and generally I'd say it's been the best hive but a bit swarmy. Lots of drones in this photo.
5/5 🏁

The White hive. Not much to say about it, I think it swarmed twice or more last year so I suppose it doesn't really have much character.
