I had a quick peek inside the top 2 boxes today as I won't be able to make it next Sunday for the bee group meeting. Top super: 90% capped honey. The brood in the middle 2 or 3 frames has hatched and been replaced with uncapped honey.
Queen excluder Middle brood chamber: Pretty full of honey with about 50% capped. Little or no brood Lower brood chamber: Did not disturb So they are productive little workers (more so than mine!). Someone should go through the bottom box on Sunday
and check that there is enough space. We should plan to take of the
top super and extract it all. We may need to replace it with another
super and then perhaps do a bit of frame shuffling to provide some more
brood space. This needs to be done with care to ensure the brood
cluster remains continuous. Andrew
