15 days have passed since the last visit to the hives. This means that the first round of Apistan is done and the second needs to be added. You can see in these photos from Green and Blue that the Apistan gel is almost all gone at this point.
There is a queen excluder on top of the frames in Green. It was left there to try to make sure that the queen does not get up into the burr comb that has been build into the inner cover since I want to remove it at some point so I can show it to my daughter’s daycare and then clean it up. As you can see, the drones also can’t get past the excluder as they try to get back into the hive and are trapped on top of it.
I am still worried that DarkGreen and the nucs might be light as frames pulled from them are not fully drawn out and filled with honey.
