Just wanted to update everyone on 2 packages I installed last month. I tried putting one in a deep box and the other in a medium box, just to see if it made any difference in starting a new hive. No difference but both are doing very well. I had to add a second super last week to the medium and had to add the second super to the deep box this weekend. They were all the way out to the last frames on both sides.

Old hives are adding new comb and honey. I think I messed around and let my old hive at the farm swarm because there did not appear to be as many bees in the hive as a few weeks ago. Oh well...

My hive in the neighborhood swarmed too, but, apparently they liked the swarm trap because it is was getting a lot of attention on Saturday. I will move them to the farm this Friday.
