Los Gatos Yesterday

Visited it yesterday for the first time in about 2 weeks. 70º, clear low wind. Nice activity at the entrance. I put the entrance reducer back on to discourage robbers, but there was no sign of such. There had been a heat wave since I last opened it, and I could tell w/ all the propolis. I had added a medium super on my last visit--7 frames, like I had made the rest of the hive for some reason--and it was just about full, w/ one line of open brood on one side of one of the middle frames. Nice and healthy. And a sweet tempered hive. It was after 5pm and I could have used no smoke.

Add a super this week.
