Hive inspections 4/30

Gonna catch up on these again!

GF: Beekeeping demos today for the baby goat festival. Hive one is doing well, lots of nectar in their third box and they’re just starting to cap it. So I gave them a fourth box of at least half foundation and moved two frames of honey - well, nectar - up into it and put two foundation frames into box 3. There is brood in both boxes 1 and 2. Was talking to folks, so I didn’t actually see eggs, but I did see all other stages of brood. Good population. Harvest next week?

All three other hives are doing well also. They have functional queens, they’re making honey, they’re capping some. I gave hive 4 a new box. I did not do so for 2 or 3, therefore they probably need them next time. Not great notes here because I was talking to people while I did it, but everything is looking fine.
