San Queens

Blue, 70's. Trying to figure out whether to feed her or not. Saw a drone at the entrance. Late in the season.

Four supers.

S4--7 frames, a lot of bees toward the middle. All looking healthy
  • F1: empty
  • F2: Empty
  • F3: some comb getting drawn out
  • F4: drawing out, L uncapped honey, R capped honey 2#
  • F5: 5# mostly capped, medium color
  • F6: 4# L half and half capped, R uncapped, medium color
  • F7: Drawing out on R.
S3
  • F1: L is empty, R c. 1# capped honey
  • F2: Heavy, uneven but dense and capped. 10#
  • F3: L looks full capped honey. R same
  • F4: Capped, c. 6#
  • F5: 10#, capped
  • F6:
  • F7: 10#
S2--the recorder stopped recording. But there was nice steady brood in here. Even lay. I don't think I'm going to feed them this year.
