Today I was able to take 5 or 6 frames out of the supers on Hive 1. I have a few more but they aren't fully capped yet so will leave them for a bit longer.
Then I decided to merge Hive 3 and the Nuc. If I don't, neither will last the winter. As it is, I'll most likely need to feed them throughout the winter because I don't think there will be enough stores.
That Hive 3 is vicious! Somehow the bees broke into my suit and I started getting stung on the head...if I collapse, you'll know why. Also a few stings around the ankles because the elastics holding suit in place around my legs lifted up in all the commotion and they found my ankles. Also one on the wrist.
But now they are merged and hope they relax.
I was so worn out that I didn't even open Hive 2. I'll save that for another day.
