Supersedure in the Works

The Buckfast Hive is thriving, but no need to add more supers yet. I couldn't check the brood nest as yet another thunderstorm moved in.

The carniolan swarm hive looks to replace the queen. She's not laying in a very good pattern, and I saw some swarm cells. They need to finish drawing comb in all the frames and I hope during the basswood flow and later on they'll have enough winter stores, unlike the bees that previously occupied that hive also replaced their queen.
