Check both hives today to see how things were going. The first thing I noticed was both hives are feeding on the syrup, so I'll keep feeding them. The old hive has really nice comb build out on the top 'deep'. I also noticed eggs and larvae in the hive. The new hive also seems to be doing OK. I did see some larvae, but didn't really see any eggs. That doesn't mean there are no eggs, only I wasn't seeing any. I also did not see the queen in either hive, but I never do! I filled the top feeders and put everything back together. Guess I'll have to start deciding when to put the first 'super' on the old hive. I really don't want to rush things......want to make sure I have a good build up of the hive for winter.
