They are really packing in the nectar so far. I have now exceed the size of last years hive, and look to being wall to wall in the next month or so. Will be forced to harvest!

Screwed in a Landing Board

Interested to see if it will help them get in and out any easier. Looks like it might.

Bees are still alive according to IR

Still a cluster. And they made an excellent propolis windblock at the entrace. Today is 55 to 19 degrees in a few hours. Hope they make it.

And another two more bars plus beetle buster

June 02, 2019

Two more bars, total to 17. Added Craig's beetle buster trap filled with 1/2 vegetable oil, sat in diatomaceous earth under screen. I did see one beetle a few days ago. Will be interesting to see if this gets any. I want to give them any advantage I can.
