Ready for more frames

Hive body, MQ hive. Bees now working most of frames.

Pkg hive top super. Lots more bees. More honey.

Swarm hive. More bees and more honey

.

Has been hot and dry. Near record breaking. One day my therm said 101 deg. Some pollen coming in. The mint plant is flowering and there were quite a few bees on that this morning. Other garden flowers are flowering.

Have stopped feeding MQ.

Looked in all hives today. MQ bees on 75-80% of frame surfaces. Looks like fair amount of honey being put up. Lots of new blond bees. Ready to add a super or, better, merge with Chris swarm hive. Which queen should live?

Pkg hive. More workers. Top super has a lot of capped honey, much further along than on 6/28. Time for a new super.

Swarm hive. Ditto pkg hive. Time for a new super. The recruitment of new workers indicates there is a fertile queen. Hive activity on both this and pkg hive tells me that things are probably all well down below.
