90 minutes in the bee suit was about all I could take. Lost 4 - 5 lbs, and that was after drinking some water.

Pulled one full box of honey. I think there are 4 more to go, plus 4 in the basement. Could be 300+ lbs (25 gallons) of honey. And I still have 7 - 8 gallons left from last year. Lotsa honey.

The swarm I captured disappeared. No trace, just gone. Something got into the hive and ate the comb cells that had larva in them. Don't know if that was before or after the bees departed. Never seen that before. Maybe a mouse.

The split hive seems to be doing ok. There are eggs and larva. Put a feeder on and gave them a gallon of syrup.

Will do another hour or so tomorrow morning.

C • Do you ever sell your honey? 1

heel was really sore last night so a rest day wasn't a bad thing, and it seemed really humid outside this morning.... more heat, 100-103f, later in the week though.

Made it through 2 stages TdF.
