Temps were in the low 80s. It was overcast with lite rain.
Alpha Hive
The honey super had ants all around the outside.
Opened up the honey super. The girls cleaned it up nicely. Bees covered three of the middle frames. Looked like they were repairing the damaged comb.
On the ground in front of the Alpha hive I found several bees that had deformed wings!!! So I need to start using the fogger to deal with the varroa mites.
An inspection of the lower brood boxes was not done.
Beta Hive
The bees have 2 frames 50% capped and are working from the middle of the super outwards.
I didn't remove the honey super to do an inspection this weekend.
