My husband and I welcomed Avital into our family and our hearts on June 24th, 2008. She was born after a relatively quick labor. Mom and baby did fine from the start.
When she was six weeks old, she had her first visit to Dyce Lab in Ithaca, NY, where I was taking a beekeeping class. Dad watched her all day, brought her at lunch time to nurse, fed her expressed breast milk the rest of the day, and everyone did quite well. I think it was good for her to see a bigger beekeeping operation, and to smell the honey and beeswax in their facility!
My own hives are doing fine. I've only checked them once since she was born (are you surprised?), but they have plenty of activity, and the supers were partly filled. If we have a good goldenrod flow, we should do fine this year. We'll try to extract ourselves again, and with luck, Avital will help. Or at least sleep through it!
