Went in about 2pm, little bit of wind, c. 80º.
At the entrance, not as much activitity as I would hope, but comparing to San Queens, which just is a bigger hive.
Put on observation board, need to come back soon and check that.LG has 3 supers.
In Super3, nothing on frame 1, little honey on F2, F's 3 and 4 are about 10#s each, F5 has a good amount, F6 good amount. Guessing about 28# in S3. Good amount of bees, no mites sited.
S2: about the same amount of honey, on F's 3 and 4 saw drone cells at the bottom (clearly outer ring of the brood chamber), and possible queen cup. No mites.
S1: Looking for the central brood chamber. More drone brood, and very spotty laying. Saw a reasonable mix of workers and drone, but clear the drone had not been kicked out. Saw the queen, who looked fat and happy, but didn't have too much of a court, she was sticking her head in cells, but wasn't sticking her butt in anything. No new eggs. Wondered if she stopped laying with the heat (some 100º days the week before).
Should I start to feed them?
