Niagara inspection

This 2stack NULC overwintered with a small number of bees. 6 days ago, I placed a frame of brood from the plastic hive into this NUC to help boost numbers. I was previously unable to find the queen, but today she was found and looks large and healthy. I also noted that the bees were tending the new frame of brood which was placed into the hive.

The in-hive feeder was removed and a drawn frame was put into its place. This hive needed minimal smoke and no veil. This hive will go to Barrett’s house.
