june 25th hive check - all look good


Checked all the frames in both deeps and things look just right.  The top deep is loaded with mostly uncapped nectar with at least one frame all capped. They sure are busy in this top deep.

Then I checked the bottom deep.  It is loaded with bees and brood in various stages.  There were some cells at the bottom of one frame which I removed.  Otherwise, it just looked right.

Both green frames are in the process of building out the comb with just a few drone cells that were ready to hatch so I removed those.  And yes, I saw mites in there.

For the next hive check, I will be checking more for mites and add the oxilic acid soaked cloths to both top and lower deeps.
