The bees are great. I inspected the hive yesterday, and found that everyone is very busy, including Boudicca (the queen). Lots of comb, eggs, nectar & pollen. I probably would have seen larvae, if I had looked at some of the "older" frames. I was so careful to not bother them too much that I really didn't inspect very well. I think I'll go back in today or tomorrow. I'm wishing I'd gotten two hives, and might get onto the swarm list, so I can collect a free one. I just need to get some more hive parts. Soon I might have to get more boxes & frames anyway, considering how fast my bees are building comb.
Karin took a couple of movies while I was inspecting yesterday. She wasn't too happy about that job, being a bit bee phobic. At one point she flinched when a bee bumped into her. I'm getting so blasé about that, even when I'm not suited up, that I had to remind myself that she isn't. But she does show an interest, and asks how they're doing. She even comes out to look at them as they work.
