May the colonies are growing very fast in preparation for the summer bloom.

Bees are collecting lots of pollen to feed their growing colony. Nectar availability drops off a bit towards the end of the month. Some colonies will swarm to find a larger home.

Laying eggs by the thousands every day

May is swarming month. We are vigilant to make sure the bees have enough space to prevent swarming. We can also locate swarm cells within the colony and remove them. We also will split very large hive and introduce new queens..
