Hive 1 seems to be doing well. They have some capped honey and more nectar and pollen. They also have new eggs as well. They have drawn comb on one more frame to the right (last black plastic foundation). No drawn comb yet on the wax foundation. They do not have anything stored yet in that frame. Growing, but slowly. Identified queen. Fed 1qt sugar water.

Hive 2 is doing very well. The bees were coming out the inner cover when I opened it. They have more capped honey, more stores of nectar and pollen and more drawn comb including some on two of the new frames with wax foundation. Some stores in that newly drawn comb. Looks like good brood patterns. I’d guess that we’ll see noticeably more bees next week. Identified queen. Identified queen. Fed 1qt sugar water.

6pm 88 degrees. Both feeders empty. Fed 2qt.
