25th May 2013 ~ Second Inspection

Our Second Inspection

Today we made our second inspection and took photos of all the frames that had anything happening on them. As with last week there were just a few bees in the super but any significant numbers were in the middle cluster of the brood box

We have a week of some sunnier days, especially today which was also calm and the temperature about 18 degrees

I will add captions later by way of numbering these frame pictures but frames 

1,2,3 & 8,9,10 had nothing on them except for a little pollen

A few drips oozed from this excess burr comb that we had cut off from frame 5
