Hive inspection

Hive2 Same as last week, looking good, baby brood and the queen seen. Overall ~2.5 frames with brood, but mostly on the mediums. Hive1 Box3 ~80+% nectar and capped honey. Added a second honey super in position #3 (box3 is now box4). It is medium with half the frames having some built out wax and alternated with frames that are just foundation. Box2 4.5 sides of brood, rest nectar and pollen (some back-filling) Box1 12 sides of brood, rest nectar and pollen Considering last fall, this hive is now very mellow and not aggressive at all. I think the must have re-queened. bees in hive1 back filling bees in hive1 #2 eggs brood
