10/07/2016 - Inspection

Langstroth Hive 1 - No change from last inspection.No brood, possibly no Virgin queen. Langstroth Hive 2 - either a drone laying queen of female. Drone brood all over various frames. Langstroth Hive 3 - New quern has started laying. National Hives 2 and 3 - no change from last inspection. Will make decision about what to do next week. National Hive 3 - Queen spotted. Hive very heavily congested but enough honey stores. Queen cell/cups destroyed. Bees filling the super placed on last week as well as the Jumbo super partly harvested last week. Bees seem not keen in filling the comb honey super, very little built.
