Managed to leave work early to get a good look at my bees yesterday.
Hive one is my older queen and no QCs but plenty of stores.
Hive two I found was not far off swarming as it had two very large capped Queen Cells and was also down on stores compared to the other hive.
Very happy I had the chance to find my old queen and move her to another empty hive in the few hours of sunshine we saw on Monday.
Also fed them all some sugar syrup which I am sure they will be pleased with after such bad weather.
