It was around 98º at the bee yard. Very little wind, clear skys and so very very hot.
Alpha Hive
The recently added second honey super has a lot of bees working in it. The bees have drawn comb on every frame and are focusing their numbers on about 4 frames. The rest of the frames have a few bees and curing nectar.
I ordered a bucket bottling kit and it should be here just in time to harvest.
Beta Hive
I opened up the top hive body. There were a lot of bees in the inner cover. I am guessing they were helping with cooling.
The girls have been busy storing honey in the top hive body. So I need to put a honey super on the hive to give them something to do.
I saw capped worker cells and a lot of capped drone cells. I did a quick check so I didn't look for eggs or the queen.
