I had started and stopped a handful of times becau I had started and stopped a handful of times because of stupid crap getting in the way (including a parttime job that was only supposed to be the occasional fill-in, but the woman I was filling in for didn't admit what was going on until I kept agreeing to take more days for her) but now this is my first priority any day I can make it. #fultonhills #booktwoiscoming #fhps #indiewriter #indieauthor #ghoststories #revision #htryn #howtoreviseyournovel
Capped brood, honey, and pollen oh my! It was so d Capped brood, honey, and pollen oh my! It was so damn cool to see the babies in the different stages! By the 27th or so I should have new bees! And they're doing so well that I added the second super. I was thinking I'd be behind the others in the group because my workers didn't get the queen out, I had to release her.  But I wasn't that far behind!! Technically it was inches away from goal listed in my notes (7 out of the 10 frames full) but I won't be doing another inspection for another 6 to 8 days, so I added it. AND I saw the queen today! 🤩😍🥰 #beekeeping #beekeepingbeginner #iamabeekeeper #newb

Forgot to post this yesterday: After installation, I had an issue with the bees not staying in the hive. Twice they returned to the shipping box.

So I took 4 frames out and added the box o' confused bees.

Then called my teacher/mentor and she said she thought that they'd been shaken (added to the box with a new queen) very recently and were going back to the box for the old queen's pheromones.  She gave me good advice and I felt stupid because we'd talked about this in class.  But she said learning in class and doing are different and it's perfectly fine to ask for help.

I'd done the right thing with the install and then the box, thankfully, but I was just so frustrated.  Kim was super calming and helpful. 

The next day: bees doing bee things and cleaning house.

I need to be okay with asking for help.  I know in my past I've dealt with major betrayals and this has hardened me into being determined to learn all on my own and never need anyone if I can't help it... but that's just not healthy and not sustainable. I don't want to be bitter and angry and alone.

What a weird lesson for bees to have taught on day one.
