These are some things you’ll find in your hive. You should be able to easily identify each of these.
- Curing Honey
- Capped honey
- Stored pollen
- Drone Cells vs. worker Cells
- Workers
- Drone bee – note the large eyes and rounded abdomen.
- Queen – this one is quite light in color. They may also be darker.
- Drone (circled) – there are at least 4 others. The queen is also here – can you find her?
- Eggs
- Worker Larvae
- Queen Cells – if you see these, your hive is either going to swarm or supersede.
- Swarm cells on the bottom of frames. This hive swarmed twice later in the week.
- A nice solid frame of capped worker brood.
