My name is Kendal Sager, and I've been a backyard beekeeper since 2011. I keep a small number of beehives in my hometown of Los Altos, where I was born and raised. I have a passion for teaching and I love sharing my hobby through educational talks and events. This blog follows my adventures in beekeeping, check out my website for more: www.kendalsbees.com

Ants!
I stopped by Mom's house on today to take her to the airport, and I briefly checked on the hive. There was a line of ants crawling into the hive! That's definitely not good, one quick solution is to surround the hive with cinnamon (or so I have read). I'll try that for now, then when I do my second inspection on Saturday I'll see if I need to take more drastic measures.

It sounds like you need a moat! I have one for my hummingbird feeder to keep out the ants!
