Routine Inspection

A very hot day, temperature reading 23 degrees. Hive 3 - Plenty of healthy brood. A number of Queens cells and cups destroyed. Two already sealed, but I doubt if there has been a swarm. Hive 4 - Queen laying well and brood looking good. Queen cups constructed destroyed. Hive 5- Hive very congested and heavily laiden with honey/nectar (nectar in the process of being sealed). Brood looking good and plentiful. Queen cells and cups destroyed during inspection.
