Hive Update
This is a more up to date picture of the hive.
As you can see there is a new section in the middle, the lighter box. This is the new brood box where the bee's live. Now that they have two boxes to live in, the queen has more space to lay eggs so they can increase in numbers. This also discourages them from swarming. Swarming is when half the bees leave in a big swarm and find a new home. Swarming is bad because it worries people and we loose half our bees.
Tomorrow we are hoping to be able to get into the hive to see what they have done in the new box.
