The first one is of one of the supper frames. The queen excluder is below this supper.

[Linked Image]

This one is one of the outside frames from the top (second) broad box that I put in after I removed the feeder box. The others are all full and capped.

This one is from the bottom (first) broad box from where I had taken the feeder out when I placed the top (second) broad box on.

This is the third frame in on the bottom (first) broad box. The other side had more capped broad.
[Linked Image]

This is the next frame over, same as the previous frame.

I have a few more pics. I will add them shortly.

PS. Sorry for the crappy pics. My wife was using her cell phone and didn't want to get too close.

Lol. That was me making them bigger when I was editing them. I had to walk 15' from the hive and then she would stay a good 5' from me.

She will get over that with more exposure. Mine feeds them while I'm away for work filling the quart jar feeders 2xa day with no suit or vail most of the time. One hive didn't get feed the 2nd time today because they were heavy bearding and several hundred on the jar.

How do they look?

Looks like they are capping you some honey. Good deal.

Your queen is laying great,

But I see a supersedure cell or a swarm cell on your third picture of capped brood. If its capped your queen might be already gone.

They might be making a new queen and let it happen if you dont want to go in and shake all the brood frames and knock down the cells. Half might swarm away. you make sure you find your queen of course before you destroy the cells. They are usually on the bottoms of the frames hanging down.
