On the East hive, we we added a honey super with a queen
excluder but we didn't see an impressive wall-to-wall brood pattern. The bees
are calm, also all stages of brood and they're bringing in food pollen and
nectar so this is a good hive.
New line
On the Nook on the Eastside it's building out nicely and doing well might add a super look on top of it next week or so depending upon how things look.
The Hive next to it which was the rehire I've Nook with the yellow Queen in it seems to want to requeen there were a couple of Queen cups but still an okay brood pattern a little spotty. And a lot of drone brood which indicates that she might be failing.
New line North hive, this was the original box the yellow Queen was in but was allowed to requeen and it's building out quite nicely. It may be ready for a queen excluder and super within a week or two.
Tracy's Nook or the South Side Nook had a lovely brood pattern we moved frames around to checkerboard them and to build out Foundation. Possibly add a super Nook on top or rehire I've if they're that strong to attempt frame. This this could use a frame of drawn comb so that the queen has room to lay. Look in the refrigerator.
The Southside Hive had the honey super put on last week and there are already beginning to put nectar up there. None of the frames have been drawn out yet. The Brood box still has two or three blanks that have a little bit of foundation growing out so we move them around. This was the high visit the Michelle help me with and we saw a beautiful queen in that Hive as well as the yellow Queen back in the hive that she has given me. All in all it was a lovely day. Followed up with Organic grape Frozen cheese and crackers got all muddy.
