The top super is about 85% capped. The bees allowed me to open the super and pull up frames to inspect. No problem. However, whenever I attempt to lift the top super off to inspect the lower super, they stung me! The top super is extremely heavy so it's no fun to be struggling with a 70 pound super and getting stung on the hands at the same time.
Back to wearing gloves.
If the weather clears up tomorrow, I will take and post pictures.
