What a wonderful picnic we had. Many thanks to Moira, Grace and all the helpers that moved tables and chairs and organized the fun day for many, many beekeepers and their families. The food was excellent, lots of different salads and I got to scrape up the last of the rhubarb pie that Grace made, delicious!

Thanks to John Most for helping me check my hives and apply my varroa treatment. I have lots of brood and capped honey in the brood chamber, honey in the supers but not much of that was capped yet. John came back today and I have some capped honey in the first hive and we added the second treatment. Then to our great surprise hive two had brood and some capped honey in the honey supers above the queen excluder and brood and capped honey in the brood chambers! So I either have two queens or one skinny queen or a laying worker or who knows what. We removed the excluder and will see what happens next. Will keep you posted.
