Apiary report Peter Reader.
Hive 3 All good. Queen seen. Top brood box has 7 BIAS bottom one has 7 frames largely sealed brood. Two supers full, 3rd half full so added 4th super directly over brood. Bees very calm.
I also inspected Dean’s hive (1b I think);
Lots of chalk brood on floor under hive and bees were insanely aggressive – followed me all the way to the main road. Queen seen (marked green) and 5.5 frames BIAS. One super half full. Perhaps they were in a bad mood because of the chalk brood – see attached photo.
