Burr Comb
When I inspected last week, much to my disappointment; there was a lot of burr comb. This was disheartening as I had to remove all my little bee's hard work including a good amount of pollen stores and brood. The only thing that made it a bit easier was that it was mostly drone brood. I'll be posting some pics of this soon. Besides that the hive seems to be buzzing busily.

I don't think I understand the premise of burr comb. I also have an article titled 'Buzz Off! Backyard beekeeping is riling neighbors.'
ReplyDeleteConcerns folks who don't give them an adequate food and water supply.We will talk next weekend and you can give me a show and tell. It is so interesting. Love you, Nana
I've actually seen that article and I think it is completely ludicrous. I was so enraged when I read it I was going to write a letter to the author, it didn't work out though. And I'll be happy to explain burr comb when you get here.
