Bees are busy, plenty of nectar coming in. Have had some swarming issues with my packages (bees sure can get pissy when the queen is gone) but our grafted queens are doing just fine, laying like crazy and the nucs are coming along just fine. A friend has had five of his six hives swarm this year - but the lucky guy caught them all. All in all, life is good.
My little prairie is wall to wall flowers this year. Cone flowers are just starting. Clover is in full bloom as are the black eyed susans. Ladies seem happy and are sure busy.
