breathe...we're just messing with you

Hive Inspection  I

At the first inspection, after hiving a new package or not, it's important to check that the queen has been released and has started laying eggs, as well as surveying the condition of the newly established colony. 

Hive Inspection II

DATE TBD
This inspection will focus on the progress of newly hived package bees, and or existing hives, early summer activity, and general hive health.

Hive Inspection  III

DATE TBD
This inspection will focus on mid-summer activity, ongoing mite inspection and queen evaluation, nectar flow (and/or dearth!). 

Hive Inspection  IV

DATE TBD
The fourth inspection will touch on the important issues of fall preparation. This inspection will look at hives to assess their condition and discuss what actions can be taken to give the bees the best shot at surviving the winter - August is the time to start preparing your hives for winter!
