Bees

We cleaned up a wax moth-infested, weak hive.  At the same time, we moved a small hive from a nuc box to a proper hive.

So cool... You can see yellow pollen sacks.

DH prying out frames to see if they're infected.

Bees, larvae, and larvae cells.

The cleaned up bee yard.


The trashed frames and boxes.
 The rest of the disaster...
Now we're cleaned up, filtering honey and melting wax, and enjoying a healthier bee yard.

Until next time, remember.  This is not paradise.  It's Purgatory Ranch.
