Inspected hives Sat 4/19. Saw queen, and brood. Starting to draw out center of 2nd super. In bottom super they are still working, and haven't drawn out the outside of the outer frames.
Hive entrance seems to be a choke point, lots of bees waiting a landing spot. Want to switch to larger opening. Bees all seemed healthy. Scraped off some "queen cups" 2 empty 1 may have had a pupa.
Not much burr comb - lots of extra space for them to draw frames instead.
Sugar syrup jar lasting longer than a week, many flowers out - dandelion, Henbit. Bradfords and cherries are done, forsythia close to done but redbud is full.
