Previous week was again very warm in the mid 20s. Last two days has been thundery. OSR still in full bloom. Apple and plum in flower.
Hive L: Lots of queen cells and no new brood so the queen had escaped last week. Removed all queen cells bar one. 2.5 supers full.
Hive R: ~10 queen cells so an artificial swarm was done. One frame of brood was kept and 10 undrawn brood frames added. 2 supers are full so a third is required.
Hive W: New frames being drawn out and eggs already being laid. One super full. The old foundation is not being drawn in the second super so it will be replaced.
Hive 4: Removed all queen cells bar one. Little honey in single super but then not many bees flying yet.
Hive 5: Other half of Hive R. Removed all queen cells except one sealed. No super.
