I noticed the bees built on top of the wire, but they refused to lay or store in those cells. In other places, they chewed out all the foundation and built their own comb. Everything tells me that this is totally normal but it is certainly strange behavior that really makes me question the need for foundation at all... I know I'm a little late to that conclusion, but it's certainly evidence in support of foundationless frames. <br /><br />Your hive is beautiful! I love the shade of blue that you picked for it!<br /><br />xoxo,<br />jessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-12250562973047428082010-06-24T18:27:21.172-07:002010-06-24T18:27:21.172-07:00I'm enjoying your beekeeping posts so much!

I'd be freaking out about crushing that bee as well, but I'm sure all will turn out okay in the end! :)Marissa Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868609519981969958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-36815725914709892472010-06-23T08:49:34.068-07:002010-06-23T08:49:34.068-07:00Yes,indeed,you can never have too much advice.

I do have a handy human to consult next door who is also keeping bees, but I figure it's not possible to learn too much. I do hope that you only crushed a drone, I'm expecting that's the case.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-38222530426662955412010-06-21T08:28:18.136-07:002010-06-21T08:28:18.136-07:00Yikes!

I keep wondering if I'll be able to pick out the flowers they used- lemon blossom or the lavender in the neighbor's yard?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-45162657317852399932010-06-21T05:49:30.582-07:002010-06-21T05:49:30.582-07:00GREAT post!
