Third Hive and Chicks


Got a third hive started yesterday. Hope is if I can get four hives strong this season then there is hope of getting a couple of hives through the winter. But as I learned in a recent real life experience you can't count your chickens till they hatch.
Four of the six eggs hatched out. One egg had been pushed out of the nest by the hen. More than likely this was an accident on her part as she was turning them. The other did not survive the hatching out process. Think the hen smashed her.
