There were ants around the legs of the hive stand and on the bottom of the hive. Thursday or Friday I will put down some pesticide.
Opened up the hive today. Since there are two brood chambers I only opened up the top chamber and inspected it.
There is alot of activity in this second brood chamber. Four frames are being worked by the bees. Two frames are almost completely drawn out, two frames are partially drawn out.
There are many more bees in the top brood box, they cover five frames.
I noticed that a large number of the bees in the top box are newly hatched.
I didn't see the queen in the top box.
I looked for other pests and did not see any other than the ants.
These three photos are from the top brood chamber
