Did a thorough inspection on hive # 1. It really looks good to me. I am uploading some pictures. Feel free to tell me what ya'll think. Also, They are bearding day and night. Temps in the high 90's. 98 yesterday. they are on screened bottom board, partly shaded in the afternoon. Two deep brood boxes, one medium super with Queen excluder. I propped up the outer cover yesterday, not much change in the bearding.

Brilliant photo's! Love to see what's happening in the hive. I am usually too busy trying to get the honey to take photo's. How did you stop getting honey on the camera? I always get very sticky after I separate the frames, and can't help but get honey on EVERYTHING after that.

One question, why do you have two brood supers? That's a huge hive, isn't it?

My son takes the pictures for me. He just stands back until I say okay take a picture. He doesn't get very messy. I have two brrod boxes because, well, the local beek who was helping me advised me to do it this way, and so far I haven't run into any problems.
