Spring moves into summer

What a beautiful sight!

Here is one of the nucleus hives started in June. It is building up nicely as you can see. I will need to encourage it to move more toward the back of the hive because it seems to be packing into the front third, but that is not uncommon partly because the nuc came on drawn frames, and all the rest of the frames are foundationless empty frames.

At first glance you may think this nuc is weaker, but actually it is nearly identical, it just has spread itself further back in the hive. I do not need to encourage this one to move where I want it to move.

Here is the top box of the vertical hive, which was inhabited by the swarm. They built burr comb originally because I had left empty space. I put that below and they seem to be building nicely into the second deep box.


The next couple of weeks will be the test to see if the commercial beekeeper returns to my area. He never comes until he is done with pollination, which is usually the beginning of July. If he stays away, we will have a decent crop of honey and three nice strong hives this summer.


We have had a really good clover bloom and now the basswood is on, so there is nothing to prevent the hives from doing great if they can have all the forage out there without undue competition.

I noticed how the shift from spring into summer on the farm made me reflect on a time when I felt overwhelmed in online courses and the phrase pay someone to do my online exam popped into my head. It wasn’t that I wanted the shortcut I just feared falling behind. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised what I’d be trading: the chance to learn something new, the moment of realising I could figure it out myself, and the confidence that comes from staying with the work, even when the season gets hot.

Spring transitioning into summer always reminds me how learning evolves over time, sometimes gradually, sometimes with sudden clarity. During these shifts, having a calculus online class helper made all the difference for me. The Online Class Help provided structured guidance and step-by-step explanations, making complex calculus concepts easier to grasp. It’s this thoughtful support that helped me stay consistent, confident, and successful throughout the course.

I really liked your post on spring transitioning into summer it paints such a vivid picture of change, growth, and movement. It resonated with me because student life often feels like that: a cycle of fresh starts and then heat, when things ramp up fast. Sometimes I find myself considering using an assignment writing service London when the “summer” season of deadlines hits. But reading your reflection makes me realise that embracing the rhythm helps me keep grounded and focused.
