Well I checked the girls today, {nice and warm 55 degrees} and one hive with a total of 4 mediums, had brood in all 4 boxes! Not just a frame or 2 at least 5-6 frames per box all in different stages of development. It had seemed light on stores on an earlier lift of the rear of the hive last week. So I popped a feeder on top, and checked the feeder today and there were some bees taking the feed not many. So I decided to take a look inside and that is what I found.

The second hive was much more conservative on the brood rearing, top super nice and heavy, some brood in the other boxes about what I think is normal.

Anyway just thought I would tell someone, when I tell my wife she just looks at me and politely smiles and goes back to what she was doing. smile.gif

I wonder why she does that? :D :D

Well don't feel bad my wife tells me i should have married them instead of her. But i did look thru the inner cover hols in mine today and my third hive which is NWC's act like they are dead until i blew on them and they moved my second hive i lifted the inner cover and i had a pile of bees hanging from the top of that and all over the top frames.Which they still have some candy left and my first hive they ate all of the candy so i am going to give them some tomarrow but all is looking well be glad when the warm days come.
