  • Bi-weekly inspection with basic goals...find larva/eggs, good brood pattern and resources. Check on all (struggled to see eggs in the shade but found larvae). Great brood pattern in couple frames I checked in top box. Much more spotty on the couple bottom frames but with the lower evening temps (sub 50s) I'm guessing she's staying the top box. I dropped a full frame of bees from the bottom box...didn't see the queen on there but fingers crossed. I'm too clumsy for bulky gloves. I need to use latex gloves going forward. I moved my inspection to the other side of the box so I didn't step on the downed bees. Removed, replaced/refilled SHB cloths/traps. Finally refilled the top feeder but not before clearing out a TON of ants from it. One more thing to note, the bottom of the feeder had a ton of bees on it. Maybe again related to the lower prior evening temps.
    Late morning 10/6/24
