tickfootFellow <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/beekeepers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeepers</a> I am encountering a situation I haven't run into before (third year keeper) and am interested in hearing thoughts from seasoned keepers...In 2 of our hives and one young but strong split I have no brood, very little pollen stores, and mostly all nectar or capped honey. ~ 2 weeks ago saw 1+ day old and capped brood.We got a late frost about 2 weeks ago which knocked off a lot of blooms on surrounding flora. Daytime weather has generally been hotter and drier than usual the last couple of weeks. Could this brood break be a natural response to potentially low pollen availability? I am not convinced yet that we're queenless in 3 hives. My strongest hive is far too aggressive right now (chasing us for 1/4 mile...) to go frame by frame - so it may be without a queen. There's a lot more detail I could go into but I'll end it here for now.TIA<a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/beekeeper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeper</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/honeybee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#honeybee</a>

TomAll those drones, the traffic jam... Swarmed. I heard the dreaded sound when I stepped outside.Some up in the tree, can't really tell how big of cluster but it's not small. I think a lot of those bearded bees went back in and then I scooped them up into the entrance and they seemed to have gone back in the hive. The swarm is too high up in the tree to do anything about. My swarm catcher socks weren't worth I guess.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/swarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#swarm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beeswarm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beeswarm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/honeybee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#honeybee</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apiary</a>

TomThe bees today. Very busy, pollen coming in, and the West hive having a traffic jam caused by a bunch of drones on the landing board.I haven't seen any activity at the bait hive and the bees at the other empty hives seem to be off target and taking a break.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beehives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beehives</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apiary</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HoneyBee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoneyBee</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeeVideo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeVideo</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeeMovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeMovie</a>

TomBees bringing in the pollen on Saturday morning. I estimate between 100-120 bees per minute with pollen. That could be over 1.5 grams of pollen per minute or 500 grams in 6 hours. More than a pound of pollen and they work hours than that. That's based on them only carrying 15mg of pollen but I read they can carry 30mg.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bees</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apiary</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HoneyBee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoneyBee</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bee</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/April19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#April19</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeeHive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeHive</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollinators</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pollen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeeVideo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeVideo</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeeMovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeMovie</a>

TomI'm seeing some honey bees on the hyacinths today. Not sure this is one of my bees, it looks a little different to what I see at the hives. One I saw yesterday getting goose water looked similar and behaved a little hotter than my bees.
