We got into the hives (in bee coop at bottom right of picture) yesterday and put in Bayvarol to help them stay healthy while growing the bees who look after everything over winter. They are looking good, we didn't see either queen but there were young brood, pollen stores and honey and no mites in the drone brood I looked in.
We haven't harvested this season because the honey-house (centre, it'll also be the laundry and back porch) is still being built. As depicted, the house is full of builders, and will be for a while yet; though the end is starting to be imaginable and we've been deciding all the colours (purples and blues outside, yellows inside mostly).
