I was going to pop this in (What did you Do in the Apiary) but it may get ignored .
Anyway i weighed them all today and checked the inspection tray's which have been in for seven days, the White Queens tray was in a week later as she missed the first vape so was vaped one week later.
Yellow Queen hive 115 lb in weight, she is on a poly brood box with one ceder super below and one for a Eke above for the feeder.
9 varroa dropped over seven day's .
Blue Queen 110lb on poly double brood bottom box just incase they need room for early spring, ceder super for a eke for above.
11 varoa dropped over seven days.
White Queen on ceder brood + half with a super for a eke for feeding 105 lb
100 varroa dropped but the tray was in from the last vape 7 days ago.
I'm not sure of the weight of poly bits but do these weights sound good for winter, i fed them 4lt each once more today and that will be the last this year..
Yellow and orange pollen piling in also.
