Routine Check

Casey and I harvested 30 more jars of honey two days ago. Today, I did an inspection of the other two hives. I pulled the super off of the middle hive because they were not building comb on any of the starter strips. I pulled and inspected all frames on the top brood box and things look really good. Lots of brood, capped and uncapped, lots of polen and honey as well.

The third hive looks exactly the same. I see lots of drone cells, uncapped larvae, and no Queen cells. I pulled off the top brood box because things were not happening in it. I took frames that had lots of drawn comb and put them into the lower brood box.
