Today, my prose/almost-poem piece "Apistry" appears in Hyacinth Review:
https://hyacinthreview.org/david-milley-apistry/This piece shows Warren caring for his honeybees through the four seasons. It's brief and readable.

Looked in the laying worker hive while I was walking by. Maybe less bees than when I moved it from the nuc a week ago.
-
The laying worker hive was placed on top with a double-screened divider between the hives. There might be one frame of bees in that hive and all the field bees will likely return and be welcome in the new colony. This is just to preserve the stores they have collected and send a few of the drones out to spread their love.
No drama during the move, no bees in the face, no bees on my arms, no bees up my shorts. Nice bees.

Some bees yesterday on the 'fetched from way up in a tree from the top of a ladder with a long pole' hive landing board.

'Tis a bit warm this evening.

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

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.

We have all heard about the devastation caused by Varroa mites. Thankfully, there is now something you can do to help our honey bees.
Australian National University's Research School of Biology has started gathering data on bee populations, and they'll supply materials if you can spare a sunny afternoon to collect some bees.
