The skies were clear, no wind and it was 85º.
I have been checking on the bees lately to see if they are still storing surplus honey and today the answer was a definitive YES!
Alpha Hive
There are bees on every frame of the honey super. Honey is being stored on every frame. About four frames are full of honey and they are at the point of being capped. The remaining frames have honey but not as much and none of its capped. I am guessing that the bees are moving honey up from the hive super and storing in the honey super, because there is so much honey in the super.
I did not see any eggs or larva in the honey super, but I installed a queen excluder just to keep the queen out of the super.
Beta Hive
The bees have been busy storing honey in the super. The hive does not have the number of bees that the Alpha hive has but they still have managed to store a lot of honey. They may be moving honey out of the hive body. I also installed queen excluder on this hive.
