One Flew Away!

I got out to check the bees about a week ago, one of the five new package bees decided they didn't like their new home. They just flew away! I was very disappointed. Yet one hive is doing GREAT. It's almost completely filled the bottom brood box and I went ahead and put my second box on today. The other here at the house is doing OKAY. Those gals have drawn out about 5 full frames, so working half the speed of Hive Glorious.

All hives have been fed so they will not long for food supplements. Next bee meeting is Tuesday night. Hope to see anyone interested in bees at the meeting!
