About having an observation window in your hive…One of the beauties of having an observation window in your hive is that… well – bees are beautiful! So, it’s great to be able to watch them at work inside the hive, it’s like magic! And it’s great too that you can check the level of a feeder inside the hive without cracking the lid. And you can see whether they have built comb on all available bars, so you can easily tell when bars need to be added for them to grow onto. All great stuff. And for the cool factor, it’s just really hard to beat having a window in your beehive.But there are risks as well. The first risk is that if you only ever inspect your bees through the observation window – you are missing the most important part of any inspection, and that is to see the contents of the cells of the combs. The view through the window only reveals the edge of the bees’ combs, not the faces of the combs, and in truth, that’s where all the action is! To do a thorough, thoughtful, relevant inspection of your hive requires opening the hive, and gently lifting each bar to inspect both sides of each comb.The video above demonstrates how to safely turn a natural beeswax comb in order to see the "back" side during a bar-by-bar inspection. It's not hard!And just what should you see when inspecting? What is revealed when you look into the combs in your hive will be determined by the age of the hive, and the season. A brand new hive is busy building new comb, so that there are cells for the queen to lay eggs into. This is what we call brood comb. The eggs then hatch into larvae, and soon they are capped, becoming pupae, causing beekeepers to oooh and aaaah about the queen’s beautiful laying pattern. The beekeeper who looks into the cells of the brood combs in their hive will see these things – eggs, larvae, and pupae – and know whether their hive is thriving.A hive during a honey flow will build beautiful fresh white comb and fill it with honey.
