BUSY BUSY BUSY

Wow have I been busy. The 2 hives are booming. I have been busy removing all of the foundation from all of the frames. I am going foundationless. It is slow going and I will probably not have much honey to sell if any. The bees are first and foremost. No chemicals of any kind. As you all know I did feed Fondant this winter but I will not be feeding this next one. I bought 3 packages of bees from Lookout Mountian Honeybees. I installed 1 on HSC, doing great, and 1 in a homemade  topbar hive, it obsconded on day 3, and the replacement I hurried and bought to replace #2  was put in a langstroth hive with foundationless frames, doing great also. I added empty deep of foundationless frames to both new package as well as swapped the deep between brood and honey to encourage growth. The flow should be about to start as I saw first blooms of honey suckle today. The book that I have been waiting on was released today," The complete idiots guide to beekeeping". I will pick it up this Thursday. I will let you know how it is.
