Well, we moved our hive to our own backyard, and it is just feed outside of our bedroom. The bees are a bit stirred up from the move as they reorient themselves and reset their internal GPS systems.
As you can see from this video, the forager bees are bringing in a lot of pollen--you can see the orange dots (they look yellow in this video) on the back of their hind legs. This is a really good sign! It means we still have our queen bee and she is laying brood, so they are bringing in pollen to make food to feed the babes.
After a week goes by and gives them some time to acclimate, we will open the hive to take a look at the brood, and we will be moving their hive frames into a new box. We want them to be less agitated when we open up their home, which is why we are waiting a week to do so. Hopefully I will be able to take photos and post the job on here for you to see. But in the mean time, you can see lots of activity in this short clip.
