In this video we install a bee nuc into our second hive. We also installed a filled out foundation frame into our struggling hive. Both hives have queens and a good amount of bees!

I still have a queen, but no larvae yet

1. The queen is still here (yay!), but no eggs/larvae yet 2. Not enough expansion to warrant a super 3. The food bag was empty

Rooster Singing the Egg Song

Roosters can sing the egg song too! He chimed in as the girls were arguing who gets to use the Eglu coop first. Unfortunately, this is Mick’s last video. He was too aggressive. Hoping at least one of his sons is gentler.

The chicks are adjusting well to outdoor life. They put themselves to bed in the coop when it gets dark. They’re getting closer in proximity with the adults when they free roam together.

Our Latest Hive Inspection Is a Bit Concerning

May 28, 2022 Cheryl No Comments Uncategorized
I didn’t see any freshly laid eggs. I did see some developing larvae so that’s good. As usual, I couldn’t find the queen. However, I did find a couple of emergency queen cells. Did something happen to her?

First Impressions of the Precision Pet Red Door Hen House II Chicken Coop

May 24, 2022 Cheryl No Comments Uncategorized
This coop will be fine for raising our growing chicks in close proximity with our existing flock. However, I would not put 4-5 adult chickens in as it advertises. Our One rooster was cramped in it.

Inspection After Seeing More Bees Than Usual

May 19, 2022 Cheryl No Comments Uncategorized
It must have been a rush hour I saw before. No dead bees so there wasn’t a battle. Upon opening the hive, I found lots of new comb and some eggs laid. I couldn’t find the queen, but aw evidence of her being there. The sugar water bag was empty so I replaced it.
