Two More Hives Installed

We got two more hives installed over the weekend (Mac & Rodger) and it is starting to look like a proper artisanal apiary.

While looking through Mac (the stronger of the two hives) we were able to spot the queen.

Seen below you can tell her by her elongated abdomen and the remnants of yellow paint on her thorax. The paint color indicates that she was born in 2007.
