5-6-12

Very breezy day with clouds. Though temps in the 80's. Both hives look healthy, however colony #2 is surpassing colony 1 as far a frame build out. Did not see queen in #2 but did see eggs. The first image is new comb to left of center in the box. Most all of it has eggs. 

 Brand new comb. Isn't it beautiful. Every one of these has an egg within.
 This is the queen from colony 1. She's taken her sweet time. Her numbers are down compared with #2 but she is still laying. Her colony only has about the 4 center frames worked on.
 Bees aren't the only insect that enjoys the pollen.
 Alex to these next three images. Pretty good job, don't you think.
 Another type of bee.
 Based off coloring this is colony #2. They seem to be darker in color.

 A little color makes things much brighter don't you think.
Love the texture in the shell.
