First time in hives in a while. Hive 2 has drawn and filled the super we gave to them in April. Added another super.
Hive 1 seems to be on the path to recovery with more bees present and better brood pattern. Queen may be slow layer or possibly not well mated? Bee buildup is so slow. Took away sugar feeder as it wasn't getting much use and too many ants came in. Its hard to keep a proper grease barrier on the stand legs, and grass grows up to make ant bridges.
We are sure we will be able to get a full box of harvest from hive 2.
