I got a chance to open my hives today to check reserves and give them a pollen patty. They were busy hauling in pollen and didn’t even stop to say hi.

I took advantage of the warm weather to pamper the ladies with some Hive Alive and an OA treatment.

Well it’s that time of the year to make Mead or Melomel. Nothing tastes better on a summer evening than a glass of Tangerine/Lime Melomel made with pure local honey from my hives. Don’t like that flavor? Then try Pineapple/Mango infusion. Who needs grapes to make wine when you can make a batch of the “Nectar of the gods”, the oldest known fermented drink on record. See Jim’s Honeybees for all your Raw Honey needs.

We bottled our last five gallon pail of honey today. This week I will extract honey from some deep frames that I have kept on hand and open up the hives to make sure they are not "honey bound". If they are I will swap out a couple of frames.

I picked this up on sale a month ago for under $45 shipped as an alternative to dragging around a car battery to Oxalic Acid vaporize my hives. It only takes about 30 seconds a hive. What are your thoughts?

This is the second swarm taking up residence in my bait hive that I put up at my daughter’s house in Grand Rapids. I will take it down this weekend and put up a replacement.
