So I was worried that I rushed putting on the second box and I asked our trusted VP Beekeeper and he suggested that I condense them down to one box. My worry was due to the fact of undrawn comb and no eggs or larva. Well on this inspection I found Eggs larva and brood, nectar, honey, bee bread!! And so many spicey bees! And they have drawn out so much new comb!! This was the second time I opened the hive in a matter of 3 days. My last visit I did not find Queenie, nor did I find her this time. But knowing that eggs were present I was very happy!! So I kept both boxes and of course fed them another gallon of 1 to 1 sugar. That's 3 gallons in a matter of 5 days!! I checked the honey and it was at 18%... gonna see what it tests in 10 days from today...if its 16 or less I'm gonna harvest!! I"M SO HAPPY!!!

Had a great turnout at Main Beach in Fernandina Beach Florida opening of the beaches! We had an observation hive, tools of the trade, and a lot of people asking a lot of questions! Sold a lot of honey from the Nassau County Beekeepers Association!!! A great day spent with great people!!

Audio is no good. I saw plenty of bees, lots of honey and nectar on top box. My worry is no new eggs or larva seen in lower box, nor did I see the queen. There are 4 undrawn frames in bottom box. We know if there is no space for her to lay, she will not stay. No queen cells or supersedure cells found. not sure of my next move with this.

Well the audio is no good on video, so I'm just gonna say this inspection did not go well. Did not find the queen. There are several undrawn frames on bottom...
