Hard to take pictures when I am the center of the activity, but I think I need to get someone to work with me. I did try to show CS some of the larvae. I think it was hard for her to differentiate, and I couldn't point because I was holding the frame.I want someone to help document my work with the bees.
Rule 1. Don't let go of a frame with lots of bees on it until you are slowly putting it back into the super.
Rule 2. know what you should be looking for. B Rowe says brood should be putting a frame of brood or honey together a week's time. I don't think I am seeing that for 3 of the hives.
I now think I know what capped brood looks like and what capped honey looks like. I got to see a hive beetle crawling a few cells on one of the queen yard's hives. Another hive had hive beetles, but they were not able to do damage in a plastic comb frame. Cool.
Variation in the bee body coloration- from black to white, and all in between.
