Meet Jun, I met him through his sister Mrs. Gloria Hunter, they are new to beekeeping, they ordered a hive box from me, that is how we've met. Mrs. Gloria Hunter's husband is from Iowa, USA. Jun attended a seminar from our Beekeeping Association in Mactan and they bought their hives from Gaga a beekeeper who is from Lilo-an, Cebu. Jun works in a construction company through an agency and her sister would like to help him to be a beekeeper, Mrs. Gloria hunter asked me if I would like to assist his brother in beekeeping because based on what she said the bees are already bearding and the deep hive is overflowing with bees, early morning today I went to their place just right behind the waterfront Hotel in Cebu City, I just did a basic manipulation so that the bees would make a new comb on a frame and put those combs full of honey in the honey super, the honey super was just the same size as the deep hive as seen in photo, while inspecting I also cut an excess burr comb and gave it to his brother, since Mrs. Gloria had a cough and I told her brother to gave the honey to her and earlier I also told her that a combination of honey and apple cider is a good cure for a cough I learned this through my grandfather. While inspecting the other hive which they said was weak, I found a little egg and a little brood in the frames and also found out that there are signs that a virgin queen had exited thus the swarming of the bees, that is why only a little bees were left in the hive, and that answers the question why the other hive is weak, my day in their apiary ended up eating a typical merienda.
