The photos were taken during the May 8th hive check. All looked good and the bees were active and I saw a bit of brood as well. The most I did in this check was to remove the overabundance of comb! I removed the sheet of comb and will melt it down for craft use.

| Although this frame had comb already, the bees made another sheet of comb over the top. Go figure! |
Today, May 19th, I took another look inside the hive to see what's going on now. I wasn't ready to add another deep but probably will the next hive check.
The bees were bringing in all colors of pollen. I saw a few frames of capped brood and capped honey in the upper corners. Perfect. The Drone frame had been worked on and had a lot of comb now but they weren't filled with brood yet but will keep an eye on that frame as we move forward.
I also added two mite strips...Apivan today.
