Beekeeping on Luckey Bee Farms
Hive Checks for beekeeping! We try to check the hives regularly to make sure all the girls are doing ok. Here is another reason, these girls were so busy they started building comb onto the top of the hive box. Amazing what they can do in a short amount of time.
This hive was full to the brim. Ernie relocated this hive and they are thriving here on the farm.
Was trying to get a picture showing how they hang on to each other. We inspect each one of the frames and sometimes they hang onto each other.
Here you can see where the original comb from the removal is. Ernie had put sections in this frame and rubber banded them in. The girls have been hard at work and have connected the comb to the frame, no more rubber bands needed.
Up-close shot of the larvae in each cell.
This hive has grown since Ernie brought it back to the farm. 
These are more pictures of the top of the box, we had to cut this away and put the comb into a new frame. 
Here is another hive, you can see the queen with the white dot on its back. 
Here is another close up of her.
We have been pretty lucky here at Luckey Bee Farms. The rescued bees are thriving and making honey, we are hoping to harvest some honey soon!
