Here is my only picture of my first opening of my hives of 2026. It was still twitching when we opened it, but thankfully the girls had taken care of it and treated me with finding the queen 👸 on the 2nd frame touched. No burning anything down today! 😅☠️

All is looking good and more supers were added today!

I am starting to think that Boaris is just an overweight dog. Spending the day sleeping in the sun.

Looks like the pigs decided to feed themselves this morning.

Checking on the hives! Who made it? Who did not?

Feeding emergency sugar to those that need it. All sugar gets removed when adding honey (super) boxes on top. A beekeepers takes care of her bees first, then the sweet nectar turned honey later. 😋

Watching me put up an electric fence. Probably plotting his escape.
