Hive L: This hive continues to thrive and a good brood pattern has been created.
Ten uncapped (but high viscosity) frames were removed and produced 28 lbs (13 kg) of honey (•••).

Hive R: Queen cells are still being produced and the queen is no longer laying at the same rate. I suspect superseding is about to happen so I have left the queen cells this time, having first taken the frame to Hive W but changed my mind and brought it back.

Hive W: As expected, queen cells have been produced on the new frames. The colony is getting weaker and little honey being produced.
