July 22: Caps!

July 22, 2014:

I went out today to prop up the hive lid in preparation for a few hot dry days, and I pulled a few frames while I was there.

What I found was a few caps!  The bees are starting to put caps on the honey in the top super, which means it has started to ripen.  I didn't open up the lower super--I'll wait another week or so for that--but this sure made me happy.


And--aren't they just gorgeous?
