March check-up

 Last week was really cold some nights, as low as 14 degrees. Fortunately, the feeder pails look intact and the bees are eating, although I still have 5 or more pounds left in each pail.

February update: feed

 Sunday the 28th I put feed on all the hives. The weather had been really warm the previous week. The Benedictium showed some signs of life, the Salomium showed more, and the Lucium was really hopping.


January update: vape

 I needed to buy a new battery, but I eventually managed to get all three hives vaped: The Benedictium, the Salomium, and the Lucium.

Honey harvest update

 I got a good 12 or more pounds from the Salomium in November, so we had a very merry Christmas with plenty of honey (and lip balm) for everyone.
