Queens?

I checked on the Patterson hive again today. It's been a couple of weeks. I cleaned up the collapsed combs from last time. The girls had moved the honey from them and then attached the combs to the side and bottom. Funky comb.
I pulled a couple more bars of honey. I removed some very crooked honey/pollen comb and put it in the end of the hive so they could clean it out.

I was going through the brood nest to see what happened with the many queen cells from last inspection. I saw two queens on the same comb and stopped at that point.

I did put a few empty bars between the existing combs on the north end.

I also used a push pin to re-attach the screened bottom that had come loose in one area.
