Having attended the Association Apiary yesterday to put second doses of Apilife Var on two hives I returned home where I started the task of removing supers and applying treatment to my home hives. Some were drawn but empty and some had honey. Most of the honey was capped and the uncapped passed the shake test. 
I didn't get all hives completed yesterday so I resumed late morning today and concluded around 2.00 pm.
All hives had BIAS although some were stronger than others. Even the late swarm that arrived a month ago is on four frames. I'm thinking should I buy a five frame poly nuc or knock up some snug fitting kingspan panels to insert in the brood box.
