IT was one heck of a learning experience... that hive is doing well finished up the 2nd deep and I put a honey super on but they won't draw it out yet.  still waiting.

Well, like a bunch of others that were excited to get started and the crazy weather held up the NUC and package production and now just look at them with that beauty of a queen.
Nice to see that your bees are doing a great job, Jason. Hope that the rest of the season is good for you and your little one.
