Bees appear to have noticed that the heat has let up. Production has increased. Babies look good. No sign of swarming, but signs of a possible insurrection coming. TONS of beetles on the swiffer pads. Looks to be a good fall harvest. #beekeeping #hiveblogging #BzzzFeed #HivesOfMastodon

We just put a fourth box on the hive and may have to do a fifth in the next 2-4 weeks. Making babies and honey like crazy, no signs of imminent swarming, no evidence of beetles or mites, and they're so nice, they're downright cordial. The State of the Hive is strong. #bees #beekeeping #HivesOfMastodon
