Second Hive Body

Nice warm day. Tons of activity in and out of both hives. Smoked Reese's hive, cracked the top, and peered in. They had eaten 3/4 of the syrup. I checked the frames and they are just working on the 7th frame. I figured that why not put the hive body on top. So I did and replaced the syrup and took out the entrance reducer. I spoke to Harry P. who had gone to the club meeting where Howard had suggested that the entrance reducer be taken out. So I did.

Then, smoked and checked in to see the girls. WOW. Huge progress. Almost all the frames filled or at least bing worked on. I did the same thing to my hive: additional hive body, 1/4 syrup left and entrance reducer out! Check out the pictures.
