3rd inspection

Today should be the day I move the colonies to their new painted hive body. This didn't happen, it isn't ready yet. Hopefully I'll be able to do it next week.

I did however, take a good look at both colonies. Spotted both queens and got some photos. Both hives have 6-7 fully drawn out bars with others in varying stages of being drawn out. Both colonies have 4 empty bars left. Hopefully it will give me enough time to get this other hive body finished and painted.

View down at the 4th bar from the front


6th bar from the front.


7th bar. From here on in until the very last bar this is pretty much what they all look like. This bar the comb is getting a little off center near the ends.

This is the only picture I took of the 2nd colony. This was bar #4 I think. Everything behind it save the bar up against the follower/divider board was full. Added 1 more empty bar to both colonies. There is no room for anymore.

Really need to get that other hive built.
