Thursday 7th august 2014.
After brunch with Wil who is full of stories of working at STVV, i removed 7 of the 9 feeders; all empty. The two with a last drop in are 1 and 3.
Api life var strips added to all but 2, which is a Yellow daughter, so hopefully doesn't need it.
Added a lift to the mini plus Yellow Queen, still going strong, i'm going to try the in frame feeder this time.
All hives have young brood; the biggest is by far 4, the swarmy red queen, i gave them a second lift because there were a lot of bees outside the other night.
The two kielers were empty, apparently ran out of food; the queen cell in micro C had been opened or been stripped, there were still bees apparently looking after another queen cell, so i gave them some food.
Note for future; the kielers need to be kept fed.
