Anyway, finally got to the bees , after heatwaves and total fire bans, the girls have been busy.
OTHER is buzzing, bees are quite docile, lots of honey, at least 8 frames in there, adnt the top 2 boxes welded together with comb.... overflowing, almost ,
METROPOLIS, much the same full of honey, all good. Need to spend some time clearing the comb from between the boxes, also need to replace a few rotten frames in this one .
Probably at least 20 harvestable frames between the two hives. Awesome, need to find a day to do some spinning,
Over to dad's to check the other hive, dad wasn't home so Andrius gave me a hand.
The top box had 4 harvest able frames in it, otherwise seemed healthy.
