Today i went to check on my new nuc from two of my weak colonies and boy they are booming like the rest of the hives. All you can hear is a deep roaring from them fanning and the smell of aster honey being cured they have slowed down on working pollen they are more busy working what is blooming. I sowed about an half acre of ladino clover for my girls and i put down about 14lbs. of seeds to make sure it was thick enough and i also fertilized my mothers back yard and the area between my hives and shed with more clover seeds so i know they will have plenty now i am waiting on the rain to come which it is coming tonite or tomarrow but all i all theye are working and the last time i checked the queens were back laying and some had plenty of capped brood so i may take a frame of brood from my oldest colony and give it to my nuc so they can build up some more.

I checked a nuc today I got from a swarm trap. It has gone gang busters also. Queen is laying like mad. I am glad I am not the only one. I have a couple of hives that have scaled back and some that are in overdrive. It is going to be interesting.
I am glad to hear your combine went well.
Sincerely,
