On Monday, July 7th I opened up the hive to remove the menthol crystals which had been in place for two weeks. The ladies had glued down the aluminum foil but good with propolis so it took some scraping to get it all up. I also removed some burr comb from the top of two frames. Everything else looked good. Although I didn't see the queen, I still noticed new comb filled with eggs so she must be in there somewhere. The frames are now all fully drawn into comb, but nothing is happening in the upper deep yet.
