Early Spring: Jessie helping feed the bees to strengthen the new hive 

before the nectar starts flowing in abundance from the flowers.

 Some bees cleaning up comb that was removed from the hive.

As of today each hive continues to be active and growing.  The one on the left has consistently seemed a bit stronger.  We had an internal feeder in the hive when it was started (Jessie feeding above).  The two bottom supers will be food for the bees for the winter and the top ones if all goes well will be honey for us.
