This week I put the Nuc I had created at the end of June into a deep. The deep will only have 8 frames, one being the green one for drone brood. They seemed pretty crowded in the Nuc. I added one Api-guard strip to this deep but have ordered more. I will need to add more than one soon.
In the other hive, I've seen some dead bees at the front of the hive over the past week or so. Not a lot, but enough to notice. I peeked in to see if the super was filling up, and it seemed to be. I should have gone deeper but was worried about this tennis elbow which is bothering me. I will need to get in there this week to check on the drone frame in there as well as anything else it might need.
I also charged the battery for the fence to keep out the predators, whatever they are!
