Hive Check

Hive 1

Took a peep in there.  Couldn’t find the queen, but did see young larve so I’m assuming all is well.  Added syrup as needed.

 

Hive 2

All is well – lots of bees in this one – about 8 frames worth.  They had eaten the feeder dry.  Added more syrup and a beetle eater.  Saw one small hive beetle.

 

Hive 3

No sign of queen yet, queen cells are still intact so it should be any day now.  Topped off syrup and added a beetle eater.

 

Hive 4

This is by far the strongest hive of the 5.  No changes needed.

 

Nuc 1

Queen cells were open, although I didn’t see her and no sign of eggs yet.  Topped off with syrup and megabee.
