| Hive 1 colony through window on 21 May. Such pretty, busy girls!! | |

 |
| Looking through the screen access door | 7 bars removed. Chunk of
comb on the bottom was their first attempt that fell off a bar. I thought they might clean it up, but it looks like they're using it as an achor point? |
 |
 |
| Another view with 7 bars removed. They seem to be filling all the bars with the same shape... ? Don't they like 19" bars? | Same view - looks like they're
favoring one side. They are working 10 bars but started on honey blanks without guides. Number of bars is now 8 brood, 1 honey, one brood, two honey and 8 more brood. I didn't want to remove the bars they started on. |
 |
 |
| Other end with 3 bars removed. | Another view through the window.
You can see the guide on the left hand bar. |
