Went through The Kings yesterday. They are not doing as well as the other 2 hives. They have a lot of honey, but the brood pattern is a bit patchy and there is less of it. They also have a couple of wonky combs that we will need to remove. One honey comb fell off when I lifted it. It had obviously broken before and the bees had tried to repair it as best they could. I removed this comb but left the part that is still attached to the bar, so they can rebuild it. I also put in 2 more bars for them. We'll inspect them again in a couple of weeks, to see if the brood pattern improves and perhaps consider re queening them if not.
Today I moved a comb that is half full of honey to the brood end of The Paddyelms, so they can access it easily and so they can also use the bottom half for brood. They have already started building on the bars I had put in for them, so I gave them one more.
I put some honey we don't want into the feeder end of the Apple Trees and gave them one more bar too as they too have started building on the ones I had already put in.
