GG Blue hive is showing signs of a failed queen. A 8 frames are back filled with pollen and nectar. No signs of any brood at any stage of development can be seen. A replacement queen will be found.
Also we decided to harvest 2 medium 8 frame supers from each of the Corona street hives. This leaves one partially filled medium deep for each hive which will remain.
Additionally, we removed 1 medium deep worth of bees from each of the Corona Street hives and merged them with 2 very weak hives at GG. This partially worked. For some reason all of the bees from one of the attempted merge, left the medium super and gathered onto the other attempted merge. So, very strange behavior and not sure why the bees would not stay put and leave and merge with the other attempted hive merge.
