Was doing a couple splits today and inspection and realized those girls are busting at the seams. The top bar hive pictured started with a small swarm last year and they just about have all four ft of that box filled. Plan on using it for building nucs as I found not as easy to harvest honey as a lang. I have an identical one about half filled. They seem to like building in them. Plan on doing two more nucs from that hive sometimes this week.
