Oil Seed Rape in full flower about 1 mile. Apple & plum blossom out.
Hive R: 10 brood frames plus one empty super were placed on one side of (W).
Hive W: Found about 6 beginnings of queen cells so time for the artificial swarm. Found queen and marked her yellow. Left one brood fame, 10 undrawn frames and queen in original location. Gently shook some of the younger bees off the old frames in front of the artificial swarm hive. Two supers were nearly full so added a third.
