Cold Snaps and Incubators
Earlier this month (2.10) we had our first grafting day of 2020. Since its still so early in the season we really did this to test out the consistency of our new still air incubator versus grow the apiary. We grafted 36 Larvae into our starter hive and ended up pulling 27 viable cells from the finisher. Long story short, the incubator temp and humidity held up great and we placed all cells in new queenless splits. The cells are due to hatch today with an unexpected cold front keeping temperatures in the mid 50's..Luckily we made our splits with LOTS of nurse bees and resources. We will update the site with the success and failure in about two weeks
