Building comb!


We checked on the bees on Saturday and the queens had been released from their marshmallow prisons. They were also beginning to build comb! We were such proud apiculturists. This moment is not impressively captured in the picture above. We didn't want to disturb them, so right now there is just this birds-eye view. But if you look closely and use your imagination you will see the orderly hexagonal comb waiting for the queen to lay an egg in each cell. Or so we hope.
