This was the first of what I hope are many hive inspections.
When I hived this nuc, there were 3 drawn frames. Today found that most of one side of 3 others was done. Didn't notice any larvae or eggs so I'm wondering if she's a laying queen yet. There was larvae on at least one of the three frames when I hived them, but I don't know if that necessarily came from her.
Unfortunately, I found 4 hive beetles all the way in the bottom of the hive. Killed 3 and dropped the fourth onto the ground and couldn't find it. I'll probably put out some Gardstar next weekend.
Borrowed Randy B.'s remote for the Nikon and it worked like a champ. I thought the pictures came out great!
