I have been seriously neglecting this space lately–lots of live action life stuff going on this summer! So, to keep things lively, here are a few photos from my last venture into the bee hive.
A frame without too much development--mostly just honey and a little stored pollen. Notice the worker flying in the top left side of the image!
This frame is full of open brood (not capped); it's probably full of eggs the camera can't capture.
This frame shows more capped brood, with honey stores on the right.
Hi! I was searching for homesteading blogs on wordpress and stumbled upon yours. My husband and I are in our first year of homesteading and we would LOVE to keep bees. I wasn’t having luck with searching your older posts– did you make this bee box yourself?

No, I ordered this box from Brushy Mountain. I think they sell box parts that you put together yourself, but I bought this one already assembled (I was getting a late start in season).
