Don't worry abt me. Doug came by Friday for my inspection. We found mainly brood, queen cells and some honey in your boxes. Way fewer beetles and mites. He redid the split. (Ask 5 beekeepers to do that and you'll get 5 arrangements). Your box on the bottom, divided the q cells between them, then my deep, queen excluder, shallows. Took out the ckmite strip. Girls are happy and both hives facing the fence (west). I forget why he did that. He had a reason. I'll ck for eggs and aim south later. So, here's 1 less apiary u need to ck. Hey Peaches!
