A tale of 2 hives

The hive at the farm, known as the East hive was actually two that has now been combined into one with two deep brood boxes.
The number of bees outside on this mild cloudy day is small, although they are actively bringing in pollen.
In front of the hive there are bodies. I see the bodies of yellow Jacket wasps, and many bees. There is also the remains of the newspaper shredding that had been between the two boxes. By feel, the weight of the box seems fine. There is a gap held open by a twig between the 2 boxes. This provide something elation. The weather has been rather warm and not as rainy as it should be, but the moisture on cloudy days like this can be high.
The North hive, the one at the house, on the other hand, was very very active. The weight was good and there were no signs of problems in the tray below the screened bottom.
Health problems prevent me from looking into this box today. Either one of them, actually however I hope to do so within the next week. It's all is well I do not plan to requeen either this year., but will wait and see
