Hive 1 - Queen not seen but the Queen rearing Frame of foundation has been drawn and eggs laid in it.
Hive 2 - Larvae and capped brood together with 6 queen cells. No sign of the queen so it appears that the artificial swarming last week did not prevent her from swarming. 2 Frames with queen cells and a frame of stores together with their bees removed to the other side of hive 4. Frames replaced by frames of foundation.
Hive 3 - Eggs and Larvae seen. Also seen was one queen cell that was hatched. Is this supersedure?
Hive 4 Green - very quick inspection. Queen cell has hatched but no sign that she has mated.
Hive 4 Blue - New nucleus made from hive 2.
