I treated for mites last fall . . . insulated . . . . gave them an upper entrance . . . and put them to bed weighing over 140 lbs.
I opened the hive up today to find this . . . .

Actually, because of the shim, there were just as many bees sticking to the inner cover, that was not shown in this video.
Yes sir. That's a nice sight. I am surprised you have the weather for it today.
Next time we get into the fifties over here, the top feeders are going on mine.

After subtracting for added insulation/super, . . ., etc, the double deep weighs 117 lbs. I have around 30 lbs of stores left before critical weight is reached. I don't think I'll come close to that. Pollen starts to come in in a few weeks.

Very nice! It's always inspiring to hear, or rather see in this case, success stories.
Thanks for sharing. They look great.
How do you go about weighing your hive?

Hive sits on a platform scale.
