Yes, it would seem that it IS Spring...

Got up for a look on this past Saturday, Cinco de Mayo.

Weather was warm (c. 55-60), but it was overcast enough to make visibility less than optimal.  I had to rush a bit to make it to a Derby Party and wasted a good 20 minutes or so clearing a drain and the attendant lake.

Overall things seem to be going well:

Abigail II seems to be making slow but steady progress in her 2 boxes,

Bridget II is positively BOOMING in her 4 - I reversed deeps (again) and moved the Imrie shim to just above the excluder, with the medium on the bottom (I think).

Charlotte II is going gangbusters as well and I had to trim some excess comb, both top and bottom.

Deirdre, I'm happy to report, is doing quite nicely now, and I even got a look at her on the 4th frame of the bottom (!) box.

Above the dual hive is a shim, a medium and a deep - medium is nicely drawn, but empty, while the deep is slowly beginning to fill.

    The Proprietor of Skyline  Apiaries.

    Or his sidekick.

    Or factotum.

    Or a minion.

    Maybe a mere employee.

    Never a lackey, though - one has to draw the line somewhere.
