Visiting the aliens

Sean and I got into our space suits and inspected the 3/4 hive this afternoon. They continue to be pleasingly successful beeople. They have drawn out more frames, and they've put brood, pollen and honey in the wax they've made. 

This is the frame 3rd in from the South side. 

Below is the queen, she's got to rush round and lay in all these empty nests because the bees have been madly hatching out and cleaning up. 

This brood is very new but I can already see the concentric shapes of capped larval cells in the middle, then uncapped larvae and eggs, then the colours of pollen in a ring and at the outside edges, honey. 

Look at them go!
