It is a good year for the bees. One of my packages has filled three bodies with brood and honey and is now working on the honey supers. Two filled, had to add more today. First time I've ever had three FULL bodies and working on four supers. That many supers makes for a heavy and tall lift. The heavy duty hive stand helps - makes a great step. My other package is still working on their first two honey supers, and I'm expecting to add next weekend.
The grafted queens are doing great. Nuc at my place has expanded into an added top box and the brood pattern is looking good. And best of all, this nuc is VERY gentle and easy to work with.
