Opening the Hive
It was a lovely sunny afternoon when we took a peek inside today, a week after installing the 4 frame nuc. Lots of bees, but not sure if we saw the queen after checking all the centre frames. Saw at least some capped brood, but not really sure if there is more than last week. The bees have done a great job of cleaning up the old hive frames, and--except for the 3 black frames on the edge that weren't drawn out when installed--they're into the old hive frames' honey nicely, cleaning, and making more. Lots of foraging going on, pollen coming in from all over, different shades of yellow and orange. Looks good! Hope to see more in a few weeks, compare pictures. Growth?
