I did a double check today to make sure that the bees were making it up through the queen excluders, I only took a quick peek, but there seems to be a lot of activity up there. I didn't want to do a full inspection because it has been so hot recently (90+ degrees) so instead I just gave the bees some extra water (in their bucket) and planted 3 sunflowers for them (right in front of the bench):
There has also been a lot of activity in front of the hives lately, the bees are probably just trying to spend a little bit more time on the porch to cool down:
Aww I'm sure they'll enjoy their new flowers :)
