I had a quick walk around and hefted the hives. Starting to become concerned they're not eating enough of their stores...
I'm happy with them, although a little concerned at Hive 3, my national with the new queen. The concerns are:
1. I saw a lot of bee parts on the inspection board. Never seen so many before. Unsure what's going on
2. The colony seems to be shrinking. I can see straight down gaps between frames, which I had hoped would be stuffed with bees, and they're not eating much as both sides of most frames I can see are fully capped.
Pics below. Any thoughts/advice on this situation welcome.
