In general, everything seems to be in really good shape. The top deep is getting very heavy with honey, Brandon has to help me lift it now. A deep full of honey weighs more than a deep full of brood, if the deep were completely full, it could weigh around 100 pounds. Too bad I've already started the Apiguard medication or I would have considered taking a frame of honey - humans shouldn't eat medicated honey (it's fine for the bees though). Here is a deep frame filled with honey and capped (meaning that the honey comb has been sealed with wax):
I can tell that there are more bees in the hive than the first time I did an Apiguard treatment because the bees actually cleared out the whole tray in 2 weeks. I put on the second tray of Apiguard today.
