Hive 1 - Some bees now working the Honey Super.
Hive 2 - Castellated spacers removed in the same process as for hive 1. Found 2 queen cells. One cut out as it was on the same frame as the queen. The other was on a separate frame which was removed and placed in hive 4 together with the bees on this frame. A frame of stores together with its bees was also put into hive 4. I also shook an additional frame of bees into hive 4 to start a new colony off.
Hive 3 - Added more syrup. They have now had 4 litres.
Hive 4 - Started from an artificial swarm as above. Also had a second frame of stores and a frame of foundation added.
