Yesterday I mentioned that one hive had new flight bees. Today all three hives are active. With the weather warming, the bees are not paying attention to the yard flowers and are off enjoying their new found freedom. They must have hit the mother load somewhere as they are all coming back with legs covered in pollen. I'll have to do a walk about with the dogs and see if I can find out where. I opened up one of the viewing ports on the strongest hive and found that there is over half the honey reserves left from this winter. I left about 35 lbs in each hive. Guess the insulation really worked and just more reason to continue with the octagon hives.
