Yesterday I opened the hive for a brief inspection. All is going extremely well. The bees are building up large quantities of brood comb and they are all so very busy. In fact, the bees are so busy that I was able to perform my inspection without any protective gear at all. The bees remain calm and have a very nice disposition.

I will let a few weeks go by and then before I add a second brood chamber, I'll do an inspection of the drawn frames.

All else is going well. It is another rainy day here at Postfield. Blech...
