Added second deep 6/10/20

I did add a second deep this week since it was getting more crowded in there.  I also opened up the entrance to the 3 inch opening and took the plugs out of the two deeps above for even more ventilation.

What I really like this year is that I have pink clover, which the bees love, growing up all around the front of the hive.  It was growing all around the entrance but bees still found their way in and sort of gave them a landing spot while waiting to enter the hive.  However, I cut it back just a little and make it even easier to get in and out. I want the clover to go to seed there and anywhere it is on my lawn and yard so that it multiplies. I'll try to get a shot.
