Update

[jimineycricket]

Ok It is time for an update. I received 2 nucs on the 4/30; hived them 5/1 in two high mediums because they were deep frames.  Put in a division board so that they only had an area seven frames wide, 5 deeps and 2 over 2 mediums.  Did an inspection on 5/8.  Pulled out one deep frame of foundation, added 1 over 1 medium.  Performed another inspection today.  Some of the medium set were being drawn out.  I put them in between the deeps that were full of brood and bees.  Moved the divider board to only covering two frames worth of space.  I will leave them alone for two weeks and then check to see if I need to add a honey super.  Both hives had uncapped brood.  Maybe 50% increase in number of bees in the hive.

All in all they have been great bees,  gentle and sweet even with all my newbie screwing around.  I am really pleased with them.   Sorry i don't have any bad problems for you to help me with.  I am sure I would not have had it so good if I had not spent hours reading this forum before buying bees.
