Hive Inspection – 20180216

A disappointing day. Went in expecting to have to add frames to all three hives. Found very few bees in any of them. Found uncapped brood in only one of them. Shrank the other two hives down considerably. Left the one with uncapped brood as it was.

Waiting for Mom to get done with lunch.

The Evils of the Cheater Pipe

A “war” story about the often deleterious effects of using cheater pipes on wrenches. A dear friend recently reminded me of how sections of pipe are sometimes put onto the handles of tools like pipe wrenches to increase leverage – often with “suboptimal” results. It reminded me of this story.

A glimmer of hope for the colony we had assumed was queenless, despite the ignorance and arrogance of their keeper.
