My wife checked the beehive last week and found great news. The super (that's the top box above the brood chamber) is full of honey after a winter of feeding them sugar water. The colony seems very healthy and ready to have a go at the spring pollen. The danger is that with the super full, it may be too crowded and you risk some of the bees leaving to find another place to live. We don't want that to happen so today we put together another super and put it on. Now the bees have a brand new vacant penthouse to fill up with furniture (or at least honey).
