This is a link to me going into the hives. I did a powdered sugar treatment on the super hive. I will do another one when I get back from Chicago.
The hives are doing real well. I will take away the feeders for the rest of the season.

As I have noticed the bee getting more populous, so have the predators. It seems that the bees are getting plenty of pollen and nector and that the predators are getting plenty of bees.

And yes that is a poor helpless workbee wrapped in that webbing. Sick, disgusting and very very cool. I find it fascinating.
