My fucking forhead hurts.
hive is currently 7 months old.
no queen cells visible. added Apivar mite strips. added a feeder cake that wife made yesterday.
we did not see signs of infestation, but a gram of caution vs kilo of cure. we did see one small egg sack from silk moth, and small silk web, possibly 5cm×6cm area on very top outer edge of hive lid, just as the cover is lifted off.
lots of honey stores, lots of capped cells. lots of workers. and one particularly pissed off tiny twat... RIP.
we will add a honey super late winter / early fall.
We have done our best to set them up strong into their first cold season. it can get BRUTAL cold here. I've seen it a far as -20c
