Time to look inside the hives for the first time this spring.
Good news and bad!
Here's some shots from the hive I installed late last year. It's the one we replaced the queen. Lots of stored honey, pollen, brood, larvae and eggs. Looks like this one will be a real producer.
That's the good news!
The bad news...
Doesn't look like the queen is laying in the second hive. This was the hive that was doing so good going into winter. No good looking brood, but lots and lots of drone cells. There also was a queen cell in this hive which I managed to destroy!
Time to get help....
