Interesting experiment. I'll be interested in the results.

It's probably the wrong time of year, but I think the flow is pretty heavy right now, so maybe we'll learn something. If they don't draw out much, I will repeat this in the spring. I might do that anyway, maybe with different frame arrangements in each hive.
The bees are going like crazy, we're seeing a lot of pollen coming in. Most of it is very light colored. Have you noticed what color the pollen is your girls are collecting from your buckwheat?

I'm also happy for you! I appreciate you sharing your adventure and am interested in eventually having bees as well. Still getting some things situated first. Where did you buy your hives/ bees from? Do you have to do daily maintenance or is it mostly just seasonal or weekly?
Some great advice already seen on this forum, especially about joining a bee club...and of course research. Can never have too much of that!


Keep your updates coming!
