First Bee Hive Inspection

Acquired two hives from contacts at the Tasmanian Beekeepers' Association. We have four boxes for each hive. One brood box at bottom and three box's on top.


After two weeks in new location we opened them up for inspection. Most of the honey was found in the second box (see picture). Very little honey in the top box (4th), but covered in bees so should be good things to come.


PS: Friends bringing a plate of sweet cakes while the hive is open makes them go crazy! Yes quite a lot of people where stung on the head!
