First Hive (Bea):
Everything looked as it should in the supers. We switched a few frames about to get them to build them more evenly.
A nice photo of the developing brood here - you can see the larvae in the centre are being sealed over now they are grown to full size, the ones nearer the edge of the brood nest will be sealed up in a few more days.
We spotted a queen cup here, at the top of the frame. It's not swarming season now so probably just a harmless 'play cup', as they are sometimes called..
Second Hive (Charlie):
This hive needed another super put on. As you can see, we split the full frames equally with the new frames in between them.
Hopefully this will persuade them to build up all that empty foundation quickly.
