Update


We have taken a few weeks off from checking on the bees, so my husband poked in on them this afternoon to see how the girls are coming along on the 2nd super.

2nd Hive Body


We added the second super today. The girls had most of the frames in the first hive body drawn out (as you can see in the below pictures). It was another hot one out and pretty breezy too, but tucked back in the tree line really helped. We were in the shade and the girls didn't seem to mind us at all :)

 Plenty of capped brood and some honey there in the upper portion of frame as well!
