2/28 Swarm cells
2/26 Noticed bees with deformed wing virus
2/26 Jessica notices that Livermore is in BLOOM. Here's what she recorded: almond, apple, plum
peach (apricot too, she guesses), a huge tree with clumps of yellow puff balls that seem to be covered with pollen, magnolia, and the scentless pink flowers on the bushes that look like gardenias but aren't lavender
2/22 The plum in our driveway (8th Street) and the white blossomy tree in the backyard (not sure what it is) are just beginning to open their first buds.
2/18 Jessica definitely confirms seeing drone cells on a quick look into the hive.
2/14 Hive inspection
2/3 First hive inspection since the second deep box was added. A total of two and a half frames of new comb added to top box, with activity on all but the 8th frame. Bees are building comb on the empty frame that was added to the bottom box.
