Bees in Hive #1. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
Inner cover upside-down with broken burr attached in the middle. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
Bees building comb up in the center of Hive #1 for some reason. I guess they're weren't expecting to have the roof torn off. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
Bees drinking up the honey in Hive #1 after I tore the roof off. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
This will be a mess when I have to lift the frames out for inspection. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
The bees have connected the frames together with comb. Again, it could be messy when I have to pull out the frames. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
Just looking down at the frames, I'd guess about 7 of them have been drawn out so far. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
Bees in Hive #2. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
These guys (I mean girls) in Hive #2 didn't build comb up to the roof like http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/Hive #1. I like that. (July 30, 2010.)
More bees at home in Hive #1 than Hive #2. They haven't been fed as much as Hive #1, so they don't seem to have built as much comb. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
Their combs aren't nearly as messy as those in Hive #1. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
They've connected some of the frames together, but not as many as in Hive #1. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
There are plenty more bees in the hive now than there were two week ago. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
Some scrapped off honeycomb -- with honey -- from the top of Hive #1. I popped it my mouth, comb and all. Best honey ever. (July 30, 2010.) http://mudsongs.org/first-taste-of-honey/
