Stormy morning here in Grinnell so I’ve got a moment to share the photos from early June hive checks. Honey supers are continuing to get stacked on the hives. And I grafted another round of queen cells. The last photo is our State Apriast with my Iowa Honey Producers Association youth scholarship recipient that I’m mentioning. Did you know the IHPA awards several youth across the state everything they need to start keeping bees including the bees and setting them up with a mentor?

Made it over to Greene county yesterday to check the Iowa Cover Crop hives. The bees were loving the heat and had made a lot of growth since being placed. So we added some boxes. Time to start making honey.

Pulled into one of the bee yards this afternoon just as a swarm was leaving the cut comb colony. Luckily I caught them from a low hanging mulberry tree branch before they decided to move further down the road.

Now that the April showers are past, let the May flowers take off. With the warm forecast coming I’m hoping to see the honey boxes I got put out last week start to fill up.
