Checked through the hives - mainly the supers.
Found one colony has been gorging on honey through the wet weather, whilst others have fully capped theirs.
Little forage about at present.
One nuc had lots of capped brood but very little stores - almost nothing.
Added a brood frame of honey after scoring the cappings. Will feed, but have promised them to a fellow beekeeper, who should be collecting on Tuesday.
