Hive L: The brood is building well in preparation for winter. No more honey available for extraction yet.
Hive R: Still building queen cells! This hive is determined to swarm. Perhaps the queen needs to be superseded. One frame of brood and queen cells was moved to hive W and the other queen cells left to allow nature to take its course. Only one frame of honey had been capped.
Hive W: The colony was very weak and, although the queen cell had hatched, she could not be found. Another frame of brood and queen cells was added from Hive R.
