So since there is so much activity in the hive at this time, maybe the bees can have this super filled by september or so.
I looked for signs of ants on the exterior of the hive but none were to be found.
I need to repair one of the pvc moats, it no longer holds water. Seems like a weekend project to me.
Oh yeah, my bee keeper friend mentioned it might be a good idea to swap the brood chambers top to bottom since the queen is spending so much time in the top brood chamber. I think I will try that but for a week or so I will wait. My thinking is this, since the queen is now working the top brood box that will draw more workers up into the new honey super I just installed. So I have to keep a close watch on their foundation progress and if it looks good, swap the brood chambers and then add a queen excluder.
