Happy June 1 everyone!
Hive #1 is slow to rise, & just not nearly as active as Hive#2. Both are consuming sugar water, Hive#2 a little more so. Queens have definitely been released on both hives, & both hives were set up this past Friday. It just seems like a night & day difference between the two hives. Is it normal to have this much variation between two hives ?

thnx for the response Michael, I checked on them a minute ago & both hives are very active, it just seems that hive #1 are late risers, I guess they must stay up later than the other hive, perhaps watching Bee rated movies, ha ha!

JP - Everyhive will be different with it's own personality. The queen is different. the maturinty of the brood is differnet, there are even diffent environment factors. One may get a few more minutes of direct sunlight in the morning and this will have an effect.
Sad to say, I even have a favorite hive to work with. Last year it was #1 and now it started out early this year being #5, but lately it's #4 It built up faster than some of the other packages.
