Note- oxalic acid treatment #1 June 30, four days ahead of this hive check.
Hive check after Russian split.
Queen hive, langstroth B
- hive population light, nectar light pollen,
- bottom box has brood and larvae but didn’t look at a lot of frames.
- found good frame with lava cap and nurse piece. Did alcohol wash for mite check. Used scant half cup, probably 250 bees, with the result of zero mites. WOW!
- found queen she looks in good shape.
Top bar
- lots of bees, still honey and light pollen
- checked about 12 frames, saw brood either hatching out or sporadic laying patter.
- did not see queen, but large evident
- used larvae frame with nurse bees (inspected carefully for Queen)
