04/03/2016 - After surviving 26" snow in January and a typical Northeast winter; the hive was taken down by this 24 hour weather anomaly of 60 mph wind gusts. The first fall came at 7:20 this morning. The hive fell intact, but while attempting to right the unit, the hive bodies separated and there was a whole lot of mess going on. Bees escaping, Bees dying and honey all over. After securing the hive - to my dismay the wind took it down several times. Decided to leave it down and will triage after winds subside. # Mothernature #beethinking #bees#rooftopapiary #urbanapiary #topbarhive #warrehive #sustainable #honeycomb #honey
11/02/2015 - Last inspection & feeding of 2015. This top Hive body is pretty full of comb & honey.; buckwheat and blueberry seem to be the flavor of the day. There are two bodies below this one. Much more activity in the lower bodies VS. the activity in this body. Looks like their store of honey is being finished and readied for the winter. The honey in this box will be harvested next spring. A new queen will be introduced and the colony split. One feeder bottle was empty and the other was 90% empty. Weather was mild and I was fortunate to be able to inspect as I did today. 66 f.
08/17/2015- As you can see there is significant bearding 1 hour after inspection compared to the bearding prior to the inspection. 1 bottle of food was empty. The other was 70% full. Bees in feeder body building comb. Bottom hive body was full of bees and 50% comb. Top hive body is full- did not go in or attempt to inspect. Unfortunately there was significant collateral damage on this run. Need to minimize my disturbance of the hive. Feed -add hive bodies when necessary, split when necessary and remove honey when time is right. That’s it…
