Hello to all! Wondering about what I saw? I sat in the apiary today for quite a while observing what was happening at the hive entrances. We have only 5 hives. The time was 3 p.m. June 1st and the temperature was 19 -20 C. I never before saw so many drones entering the hives. AS well, I did not see a scrap of pollen being brought in. The colonies have been in good shape up to now. We took off honey on the 15th May, and the supers are again almost ready for another extraction. I'm wondering what was going on - why were there so many drones? And why was there no pollen? The picture I got was completely different from any I observed before. Has anybody else had the same experience? Is what I saw a good or a bad omen? Am really wondering. Thanks, in advance Sr. Catherine Duffy (Sr. M. is just the typist)
