Title: Natural Comb after 2 weeks
Post by: JordanM on June 02, 2008, 05:33:06 PM
This is comb from my bees after 2 weeks.

This first picture is of a few capped worker and drone cells.

looks great, watch out though! my hive looked like that (I started with 5 frame nucs) about a week after install. And now here we are 3 weeks later and the hive is 85% full! I have to rush out and buy another brood hive tomorrow! So be ready ;) once they get the hang of it, they really work their little buns off. :)
