Stack 'em high!


You can see that I have added to the colonies! Adding these boxes is called "supering". The lower boxes ( hive bodies ) are the brood boxes, where queenie lays her eggs. Bees store honey up top in the "superior", hence "supers"...

I am preparing for honey harvest within the next few days!
