I am still building frames for hives but have nearly caught up with all hives and can slow down and work on getting the house ready for our children to come in for John's wedding a week from Saturday.
Below, we have several hives with multiple supers. This hive is at Aunt Nell's farm in Holland. The bottom four medium supers is brood but the top has five full supers with some work in the rest. I have to get a small step ladder to check the top.
Two of our honeybees on Slender Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum tenuifolium)
Two Silvery Checkerspot butterflies (Chlosyne nycteis) ... best guess ... Their caterpillars feed on wingstem (which is abundant in Holland, KY), asters and Black-eyed Susans.
Below, lots of bumble bees as well as honeybees and butterflies in the late afternoon, still busy.
Field behind Granny's house in Holland with lots of Mint.
