All hives were inspected. Careful attention placed on amount of space and if each colony was queenright. We quickly ran out of additional deep brood boxes, so in those instances, honey supers were added to provide time until new equipment arrived. Each colony is growing quickly and just now beginning to store honey.
Some cross comb was seen in a few of the brood boxes. These 8 frame boxes are a bit strange on the size. You can squeeze a 9th frame into the box, just barely. In those instances, we added a 9th frame to take up the space.
The double yellow wild hive which was split earlier was inspected. No signs of a virgin queen were seen. As an insurance policy, a new frame of eggs was added from the original mother colony.
