Two main observations of note:

I saw the queen in the south hive. I did not see signs that this colony requeened after I gave them a new frame of brood. She’s still in there laying, but I still saw one or two cells with 2-3 eggs in them and a few that were off center.

The north hive looks great. They are drawing out comb on the wax foundations on the honey super. There are so many of them! I inspected the frames in the top deep, but didn’t go lower that that. I am hoping I didn’t miss any swarm signs down there, but I thought it was a good sign that they had moved up into the honey super and were building so much comb. I think I’m going to be able to harvest honey this year!

I’m still dictating to my phone while it records video and transcribing notes when I get home. This is pretty clunky. I told Chad I could see this being perhaps one of the only use cases for those perv glasses, but then he suggested a GoPro. I might need to look into this. I’m not sure where I’d mount it in my veil.
