Hi,
I did hive inspections last evening. My last inspection was 19 days previous. Yes, I know it was too long! I am already kicking myself. But, on the last inspection, I saw all stages of brood, eggs, larve and capped. This time, I have a good supply of capped brood, even got to watch 2 bees hatch out! First time in my own hives! But, I did not see many new larve. It was cloudy and later in the evening, but I should have seen many in the 6-8 day stages, at least! The weather here has gotten rather hot and very humid. Hi 80's to low 90's F. And staying in the 70's at night. One of my hives has been laying like crazy prior to this. The other has been producing less all year. Both hives started this spring, from package bee's, with drawn frames and some honey frames when started. Hives sit about 14" apart. Both have plenty of pollen, nectar and honey. 1 has a super on, but it is not being used much. I did have a hive swarm on me last year, so I know what the hive should look like if they swarmed, and I do not see that. I have a good quantity of bees. Also, the bees in both hives were very calm. Thank you for your help and advise.
