You don't n...You two are doing great with this! You don't need to see the queen, as you know, but in time that will get easier. I find it easiest to look for her movement. She walks purposefully and steadily across the frames. Is your queen marked?<br /><br />Did you see eggs? I had my contact lens prescription amended this year because I'm losing my close vision (old age!) and all of sudden I'm finding it MUCH easier to see eggs in cells! ALso very good to be cleaning up burr comb every time you go in. That stuff builds up fast, as does propolis. I have one hive that just goes NUT making propolis. THere are actually two large hardened pools of it down by the hive entrance.<br /><br />Over time, as you get more confident, you will be able to use less smoke when working the hives. Less is definitely more, although that said, there are some days when you just need to smoke the heck out of the girls (like the days when they are cranky and feisty.) Sometimes my mentor opens the hive without using any smoke. One thing that is important, if you don't know already, is to give the smoke a couple of minutes to take effect before opening things up. A lot of beekeepers don't wait after putting a few puffs across the front entrance, but I do and I think it makes a difference. I also crack the inner cover and give them a little shot, then put the cover back down and give the girls a minute or two. That allows time for the message to circulate through the hive.<br /><br />I think it took me an entire season of beekeeping before I could open up a hive without getting heart palpitations, but now it's a piece of cake. That will happen for two as well. Just keep at it. :)<br /><br />Also it's an excellent idea to keep notes! I've filled a couple of notebooks now and the records are invaluable. Keep doing that! I even note the weather conditions, what's in bloom, etc.<br /><br />Have fun! You're doing great.Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079474236547869496.post-55380778843115183242013-05-10T10:48:25.266-05:002013-05-10T10:48:25.266-05:00That's great sounds as though things are going...That's great sounds as though things are going well.:) Catches the Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514696230926602723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079474236547869496.post-82455580731030894662013-05-08T09:40:20.036-05:002013-05-08T09:40:20.036-05:00yay! things are moving right along!yay! things are moving right along!Tanya Breesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01949602989774270159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079474236547869496.post-82464537733555590852013-05-08T06:19:45.102-05:002013-05-08T06:19:45.102-05:00Looks like you will have a productive and healthy ...Looks like you will have a productive and healthy hive!
