Inspection of Three Hives - May 21, 2009

Thursday, 81 degrees, and sunny.

Inspection at approximately 3:30pm

Hive #1: Found the queen and it appears that she has a good laying pattern.

Hive #2: Found the queen and the hive has a lot of bees even after the division. I'm not finding the queen cells that I had prior to division. There were about four cup shaped cells in the middle of the frames. No long cells on the edges. I placed a honey super on this one a couple of weeks ago.

Hive #4: Oh my goodness, I'm very pleased with this bee group. I purchased them this Spring and they are doing so well I put a honey super on. This one I plan to rob this Summer.
