The Start of Year 2

Spring is definitely in full swing. Both  Rose and Lavender are active and doing all they're supposed to do. Dandelions are open, as well as a lot of other spring flowers, and everything is green and growing.  So far we have gotten a good mix of rain and sunshine to make conditions perfect for an early nectar flow.

I inspected both hives, and I'm very pleased with the laying pattern I found while inspecting Rose.

I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with Lavender, but I'm not happy with what I saw. The laying pattern isn't consistent, and there are occasional extremely large cells (seem too long to be drones, but do not hang vertically like a queen cell).


Any thoughts?
