Our talented daughter is back from a year OS and used her
considerable photographics aesthetics to produce a visual record of a
visit to our new hives. This is the first time she has experienced them
'up close'.
We were checking the state of the
'B' hive, the 'weaker' nuc and the one with the nearly drowned queen.
Not a huge amount of 'growth' in the hive size but it was looking and
smelling nice. Still early days.
Found the queen, very active.
Lots of larva, but had trouble sighting eggs. I'm almost certain there
are eggs but cloudy day, lack of eyeglasses and general inexperince
account for lack of sighting them.
We didn't open the 'A' hive just left them to it and will check both next time.
