July i9s the busiest month for nectar flow. The bees are building wax foundation to gather the nectar. Hopefully the weather warms up and stays a lot drier
The bees are bringing in some nectar and storing it. Locating nectar takes a ngreat deal of time but once its found, all the bees will collect it.
Egg laying has kicked into high gear as the weather warms up in July. Up to 2,000 eggs layed per day will have the queens working hard. If the Queen does not believe she has enough room to grow in her hives, she will take half the bees with her and swarm.
Besides a short trip to the BWCA, we will be bringing supers to the hives for the bees to store nectar and produce honey. Keeping up with the demands of markets takes a lot of time and work which we enjoy doing every day.
