Hi All, Well couldn't wait till the twelth! It has been a week since I put the second deep brood box on and just had to take a peak. A friend of mine who is a real beek (this is my first hive), came over and went through the hive with me. Didn't see the queen but did see eggs, larva, capped brood, capped honey, un-capped honey, pollen and two queen cells being made on the bottom of one of the frames. The bee's had almost half of the new plasticoat frames in the second (top) deep brood pulled with wax. Really cool and pretty white wax. Some of that had capped honey in it. Didn't sample it and now regret that. My friend told me to hold off on the super till the end of the month. He also saw my thistle growing and kinda crowed on how much the bees will like that. Almost three acreas of pretty purple right now. Ok so I will leave the bees along till the end of July. Might be tuff but I will. Then I will look gently and hopefully add my first super. Oh and he said they hadn't made any drone cells?? guess that is good right? He also told me that there was no longer a need to feed them so I will quite that for now.
