Backyard Apiary

The new split was not a very large split and I’m sure it has been losing its foragers as they fly back to Antheia across the yard. To help give it a boost until the brood starts to emerge, I swapped the location of the hive with Chloris. For the past week, Chloris has had a lot of bees hanging out in the front of the hive. After swapping the hives, there were over a dozen bees flying in front of the hive acting confused. That’s a decent number given that it was raining. A forager brought back white pollen, landed and walked in to the hive. It walked out a few seconds later, flew around and then repeated the process. If bees could talk, this one would say, “wtf? I have the right address, but this isn’t my house!”
