Haddock Farm Hive Oscar

Inspected the Oscar hive at the Haddock farm tonight. Took the queen encluder off. Inspected the combs and about 6 of them are completely packed with capped brood. Eggs also. I saw the queen. These Carniolan queens are sure attractive bees. The girls are extending the combs down into the bottom (empty) box. Slightly off center but still removable I added bars to the top of the 3rd box (with waxed wooden comb guides) for when they decide to move up there.  I also removed the empty food can and old queen cage. Good laying pattern. Pretty calm bees overall.
