80º and no wind, clear skies.
Swarm Hive
There were ants all over the exterior of the hive and hive stand!
Deployed some ant killer, I'll see what that does.
Didn't open the hive, removed the feeder jar - the girls aren't consuming any of it.
This weekend a more detailed inspection should be done.
Split Hive
Some time in the last 10 days it crashed. There were only 5-6 bees, no queen. There was extensive wax moth infestation and damage to 5 of the frames. Took apart the hive and will clean up the woodenware as soon as possible.
Alpha & Beta Hives
There was a lot of entrance activity, many bees were flying up and down in front of both hives. Didn't do any inspections. Put down some ant killer just because.
Started working on a solar wax melter...
