I installed a package on April 2nd and it is doing extremely well, lots of eggs, larvae, and brood. I started this package in 2 medium 8 frame hive and they are almost full. On April 11th I started 2 more hives with nucs which ended up having laying workers and no queen, the person I bought the nucs from made good on the nucs and replaced them 10 days ago, the nucs had lots of brood, eggs, honey and pollen. It kind of concerned me to see a few bees with deformed wings but chalked it up to them being at the end of their life cycle. That being said when I was observing the hives today I saw lots of activity at all the entrances, as many as 75 bees at each entrance going in and out but saw no hint of distress or fighting so I'm assuming they were just doing their thing. The entrance seemed crowded to me so I'm wondering if I should get rid of the entrance reducers now or wait a while more. Any comments would be appreciated. :scratch:
