Hive #1. Top box has frames 3-7 partially drawn. No honey or pollen in top. Bottom box has new eggs, larva and sealed brood. Some pollen throughout brood frames. Only one full frame of honey and pollen. Some honey cells elsewhere. Good patterns but hardly any stores. Identified queen.
Hive #2. Top box is basically all drawn and has a good amount of larva and brood. Decent amount of food as well. Didn’t count frames. Bottom box frame 10 had two black beetles and some broken comb. Maybe hive beetles? I took them both out manually and squashed them. Need to look up info on them. Good brood patterns, food throughout brood frames. Identified queen. No activity in queen cups.
Fed each 1qt 1:1 sugar water. Will start feeding 2:1 next feeding.
