Hundred Acre Apiary

Y'all know the reason I don't raise poisonous snakes, right? Well I took 13 stings to my right shoulder and 1 in the middle of the back this morning.

Thank you Jane Barton for being Hundred Acre Apiaries 100th 'LIKE'. I would like to thank the first 99 also. .

Thank you for being #100, Jane Barton.

Swarm #6, hived on May 14th. 9 days....look at that brood pattern. She has 4 frames laid up like this. ...GO GIRL!!!

OK. Swarm #9 is confirmed in a hive. I went to the farm yard #1 on Thursday and saw activity in an empty hive. I opened the top and was immediately stung on the ear so I closed it up until I had time to inspect it. Today was that day. In protective gear I opened and saw lots of bees in that hive. This is the third swarm to move into empty equipment in one of my yards. Catching swarms should all be this easy. Leaving empty boxes in your apiaries is such a good idea.
