Put a feeder on my Center hive yesterday with 2:1 syrup. Less than 20 hours and more than a third appears to be gone. This was the high population hive that felt light. Consecutive rainy days forecast and not much to forage on.

Some bees flying today, February 24, 2025, before it started raining.
Be prepared. Winter is coming.

The strongest hive is really busy today. It's 72F/22C and sunny with light wind. I can see fireweed blooming across the river on the hill and the shoreline over there is covered with yellow irises, and there is probably still some mock orange blooming around here. There hasn't been hardly any bees in the clover and there's lots of it.
I also installed the porch roofs on the other two hives and raised this one up to the top.

Today, I stood in the middle of a swarm of honey bees.
Around this time of year, honey bee hives will split into smaller hives as the bee colony becomes overpopulated. The bee colony ends up making several queen bees and those queens who survive, tend to fly off with a portion of the hive that follow them to start a new bee colony (hive). Honeybees when swarming are not aggressive and generally have no interest in you.

@Iva852. Does the family’s soup appetite match up with the size of the nettle colony? That’s a healthy colony! The bees have a happy place to be. #growyourown, #nettles, #beehive

The queen was found, caught, and marked. Then kept her out of the way until the double screen was installed.

Taking the top cover off, and four frames on the holder. Lots of bees.

Made a double screened divider board today for bee things. 100% recycled material except the screws and staples.
1/7 a thread of today's beekeeping.
I violated the beehive moving rule. I was scooting it ahead throughout the day, then decided the weather wasn't going to be good for a few days, and it needed scooted all the way over to get back in a semi level position so I just moved it.
They've mostly figured it out. Some circling, then I see bees going in. It's cool today, briefly above 60F, so not that active.
They all seem to wipe their face off before they fly away.
Normal video if you want to pause it.
Screencaps from video showing the frames.
I'll put a non-gif video of the same in the reply if you want to pause it to look at something.
