Couple updates.
MB7 increases cyano, not helping.
Sunny is now being called Big Mama.
The damsels in the office tank have laid eggs.
Things are ok. Needs to get better outside soon.

So did 2 of your 3 hives end up making it through the winter?

It rained last night out here and it's cloudy today.

April is trying to prank us. It'll be 100° again by next week I'm sure.

Cyano is still present. But trade off is that its keeping nutrients in a good place. Had it since September. I guess its just a fact that it will be part of the tank now.

Bee yard is almost ready for the new hives. Just need to move some things to make room. Need more muscle to do that and needs to be at night. Maybe Sunday after I pick up Mike from the airport. Probably not though.
