Sunday 9th June ~ Hive inspection with little helpers

With three of our granddaughters

Three girls checking out the hive from a good distance

Granddaughter Esmé and Shelagh ready for the inspection

~ Esmé's first time in the suit or near a hive ~

A check on the super of our small colony with Grandpa Percy

Maggie and Orla look on

Having a first look at the brood box

 Frame 5 and the queen is spotted

Last week's white dot made it easier to spot the queen

So, now Maggie's turn

~ The suit fits ok but check out those latex gloves!! ~

Maggie paying attention to what Grandpa has to say :-)

Looking for brood

Suits you Maggie

Accessorized hat!!

~ Maggie wasn't bothered by the bee but just wanted a photo of it ~

Two bee-keepers and no doubt three opinions as to what is going on!

Lid back on, inspection over

Maggie & Grandma after the inspection
