All four hives busy with foraging and yellow pollen very much in abundance. I took the opportunity to clean off the brace comb and remove the fondant from the ekespace of hive two, turning the clear crownboard over so the beespace side is downwards. As part of the operations I inspected the colony and found bias but the pattern is a bit patchy. Maybe the bees will decide to supercede this year? The queen was roaming over the comb surrounded by her retinue.
Plenty of stores and laying space so no worries about this hive at present. I hope the other hives look as good when I look into them tomorrow subject to temperatures and conditions.
