Busy as Bees!

We have basically just been letting the bees do what the bees do. We haven't really dug down into the hive to do inspections as the queen is busy laying and the bees are making honey. Now that our nectar flow is basically over, we will get a little deeper into our hives to see what is going on. I did like this picture from our last hive check (to see if we needed to add another box to our hives). Most of these girls have their heads in the cells and their bottoms sticking out. They were either adding or taking honey. These ladies are definitely 'busy as bees'! I will be posting pictures of when we extract some of this delicious honey!
