Took a few moments to enjoy my tea out with the girls this morning, before we leave.
Opal, Phoenix and Crystal! 💗

Fed all hives

Varroa Count
Hive #1: 4
Hive #2: 8
Pkg hive: 15
Swarm Hive: 6

I'm trying not to be concerned by the high count on the package hive. We should have caught all brood that have hatched up to now while they were still open. We'll know more when we test after we get back home. If it's still high, we will treat with Apivar.

Finally on the road. I usually drive, but asked Dale if he'd start, then we will trade when stop to get fuel.
