Today I checked the hive and it is loaded with bees, honey and brood. So I decided to take a few frames and create a Nuc which I took to my daughter's property where it will stay for a few weeks.
On the existing hive, I added some old frames with honey etc. on them that needed to be cleaned and let me bees clean and then fill those frames.
I removed the sugar syrup for now so I could fit more frames into the bottom deep. When I feed again, it'll probably be in the upper deep which is easier to get to. But it was very heavy this time around. I had to remove some frames in order to lift it.
The drone frame was full of comb and half full of brood so I scraped that onto the lawn for the birds and put it back into the top deep. Again, it'll be easier to get.
I removed the Varroa mite strips today since I also added a super.
