Bee visiting a swarm catcher - April 7th and they're out in central Indiana exploring!
If this one gets a swarm we'll post it in upcoming days. Good luck to everyone else with swarm catchers up!

Here is timelapse footage of my bee hives during the eclipse! They
didn't seem that bothered by it, but they were also just installed from
packages the day before so they might not have been settled in their
new homes yet.
In other news, I've upgraded the website to handle video email
attachments, so feel free to post away!

Spring Splits!

Chris Clark -
Thanks to Steve Pryor for picking us up three queens from Mann Lake. We were able to split three overwintered hives into three new hives for this year. The single deep hives with the covers are the splits. Love having a community to support the bees!
