Learning Beekeeping

3 of the 4 hives are looking bad. Short on food. The old miracle hive was queenless and testy. The split I tried last time failed, but the miracle hive had swarm cells, so I gave them a couple of frames with cells. I do not have high hopes. I will need to come back with food next week. One hive was queenless had 1 galleon of feed left. 3 weeks old, but I split it amongst the 3 hives…it was all i could do. It was likely fermented, but hey, what else could I do. There were no honeyplants blooming. All I see is bluebonnets. No firewheel yet. Mesquite not blooming yet. Cactus no blooming. Dearth, which isn’t how it was in march.
