When was the last time you saw a Turkey Vulture on a beehive?!

The hive I split almost a month ago decided it was a beautiful day to swarm!! Lucky for me, they landed in my hydrangea tree, right at eye level!! I was able to collect them and relocate them to a new hive in the apiary! That 1 colony is now 3!

Looks like we might actually have some cut comb honey this season!

Although it is hard to see, these bees are drawing out the honeycomb from a small strip of special wax foundation for cut comb honey.

The bees are "festooning", linking themselves together to form chains, while drawing out the comb. It's believed they do this to help the bees measure space, produce wax and help regulate temperature while building out the comb.

This is really exciting, as last year I didn't have luck, so fingers crossed this continues!
