Jared's hive is much improved and more populated that what I thought it would be but still on the light side. He has a beautiful golden queen who seems fairly mellow and he is extremely excited over that.
Taeler's hive is the one we are worried most about now. No brood but drone brood and that's it. Lot's of honey though

Caleb's hive has a deep nearly half full of honey and drawn comb in the other half full of pollen and some honey. Caleb's hive also has two deeps full of brood!! He must have the layingest queen on the planet, she has just never slowed down a bit! I don't think it's going to hurt his hive at all if we take a few frames of brood out .... it might make the rest of his bees try to kill us but we're kind of getting used to that

What an adventure this has been! Does it ever get any easier?
