Its 87º, clear skies and no breeze at the Back Yard Hive.
Back Yard Bees.
The top honey super has nine frames of honey. Three frames are 3/4 capped and the rest are being capped. There are many bees working in this super.
The middle honey super is very light and although there are many bees in the super they appear to be building/repairing comb.
Bottom honey super has a few bees in it and they are not really doing anything in this super.
Top hive body has a large number of bees throughout the frames. Frame 1 is a food frame and one side is covered in uncapped honey, on the other side the bees are drawing comb and storing pollen and nectar. Frame 2 has one side eggs/larva/capped brood and a border of honey and pollen, same with other side. Frame 3 has one whole side of fresh eggs! The other side is like frame 2. After finding that I put the hive back together. I didn't get any photos this time.
The hive temperament is good. I didn't use the smoke that much. These bees are very calm bees.
