Hive L: has got tetchy bees even though there is a good, strong queen. She was spotted on this inspection even though she has lost some of her yellow marking. Four frames of honey were removed.
Hive R: The amount of brood in Hive R has grown since last week. Some small queen caps were removed. The colony continues to thrive. Six frames of honey were removed.
Hive W: continues without any sign of a new queen. Two frames of brood (one each from Hives L & R) were added containing a good mix of larvae at different stages of development. If there is no queen, new queen cells should be created. Two frames of honey were removed.
35 lbs (16 kg) of a light-coloured honey (some late oil seed rape is still in flower) was removed from the 12 frames (•••).
