Top Bar Hive Inspection June 4 2011 Part 2 of 2

7 week old bees. I remove some drone comb. The weather has not been kind to the bees. They were out in full force today. Warm air and fair weather with little wind has allowed the bees to go do their jobs. I think the video caught some waggle dancing. I also check drone larvae for mites.

This new (empty) top bar hive had a swarm installed in it on Saturday, 9 April 2011. The swarm colony swarmed again from this hive on 2 May 2011, was captured, and installed in a nearby new Langstroth hive. What you see here are the bees that remained in this hive (with numerous queen cells and 16 bars of comb filled with brood, honey and pollen) after it swarmed. As you can see, it remains a strong colony.
